- The 'black icon disease' is when the icon turns into a black hole. The CSD
- did not fix it on my system - on the contrary, it got worse. BUT what the CSD
- did was to bring a cure for the 'symptom'. Earlier re-booting was the only way
- I could get the colours back - now I only need to select the inflicted
- icons & hey presto! they're cured.
