- You can always add something innocuous (like OS/2 shell) as the last item.
- That makes it harder to hit accidentally. I used to get bit by this fairly
- often, but since I added a shell entry to the end, it hasn't happened (then
- again, maybe I'm more careful due to the extreme penalty :-)
-
- Besides that, I called IBM about this a while ago, and at the time they said
- that the CSD will contain a "save/restore desktop" option. That way, once
- you get the configuration you like, you save it, and if it gets messed up
- later, you restore it.
-
- I hope they stick to their plans on that one!
