- I found that I had to minimize DeskPic to the workdesk, not the
- minimised viewer, as otherwise it had a tendancy to overlay a full
- screen image of the desktop over the desktop, which meant you could not
- do anyting as the image had the focus, not the desktop- It looked as if
- everything had frozen. BUt the image of the desktop could be pulled away
- to reveal the real desktop ( Yes, I know it sounds weird). Anyway
- minimising to the Desktop seems to have solved all those problems.
