◦ allow tiles to be re-ordered;
◦ allow for more rows of tiles (as used to be possible in IE)
* OK, bookmarklets aren't much use on the NTP, so that was only to illustrate why an 'icons only' setup wouldn't be much use either in this situation. I'm really pleased that they work, though!
I've failed completely to work out what that icon is supposed to represent. It looks most like a rabbit sledging downhill.
