Tracker: huge spacing in icon/thummb mode

Description
Currently alot of screen real estate is unused both vertically and horizontally, things can greatly be improved by reducing the spacing atleast by half, see screenshots below where a Qt filemanager displays 3 rows by 3 columns + a sidebar in a window that is of the same size as the Tracker's one, whereas Tracker displays only 1 1/2 rows by 2 1/2 columns without a sidebar.

Yeah, you maybe right about Qt, but a window of that size should hold more than 1 1/2 rows by 2 columns, the Qt comparison was merely an example in order to show the unused real estate in a window of that size, to which you agreed that it could be improved.

Closing in favor of the newer #18295 which has more discussion of the technical details already.
We could probably improve spacing. But at least scaling in Qt apps is partially broken right now; spacing metrics are generally left unscaled. Once metrics scaling is fixed in the Qt port, the disparity will not be so big.
