- I'm not positive of this, but I believe it to be because WPS does not
- save those changes until the folder is closed. Shutdown closes all the
- folders when it shuts down WPS, while the three finger salute seems to
- only flush the lazy-write caches. Whenever I make icon/folder changes, I
- close and re-open the folder.
