Of the utils you listed, these are the only ones I have as well.
You said the problem went away when you emptied your wbstartup.
ToolsDaemon is nice but it hacks the OS GUI pretty badly to
do what it want. I haven't notice any problems,
but as it's author said it's a hack.
MultiCX try to be a bit more nice,
it has A LOT of options in it's icon tooltypes field,
it is possible that there is a conflict with one of it's patches.
Try to disable ToolsDaemon, if you still have the problem.
Check the MultiCX tooltypes.
If the problem vanish, it's most likely ToolsDaemon.
I would guess on a MultiCX tooltype setting (a patch somwhere),
I had to disable several since many was available in OS3.5
as part of the OS update.
However! It doesn't happen all the time here.
Just try what I said and let me (or rather the OS3.5 list)
know what happens.
Cheers.
