I suspect that at one point it was dragged to the Hot-band, because
that's how you install desk accessories under Executor.

Yes, desk accessories often don't work under Executor, especially
accesses to menus. This is something we're working on. In addition,
installation of Desk Accessories needs a bit of work because the
Browser doesn't acknowledge the installation until after you run a
program, and if you drag something to the hotband twice, it gets put
in there twice.
It turns out that today I'm working on a variety of Browser related
bugs, so I'll try to fix the Font/DA Installation problems. Next week
I'll try to get to DA problems with menus.
