- Sorry, I haven't run onto that problem, at least, not after changing
- the settings appropriately. Recall that there is a setting in the
- Desktop itself, as well as in each icon, and I'm not sure which has
- priority, nor how they interact.
-
- I did discover why I wasn't seeing things in my viewer. I just
- installed the new versions of the proii[48] drivers, and while looking
- through the readme.txt, noticed the comment about some of the WPS
- icons not showing up on the first boot after changing screen
- resolutions. Sure enough, an 'arrange' on the viewer window suddenly
- showed me a lot of icons that had been sent there, but which couldn't
- be seen without an arrange.
-
- There remains one final mini-bug. I note that now *almost* anything
- can be set to go to the viewer when minimized -- *except* a DOS
- session. They seem to still go to the desktop no matter the settings.
