- This happens to me about 50% of the time... I just rebuild the Desktop
- (login via the Console, and type 'mac32'... as soon as the screen "clears",

- There is an INIT called FMbackup that fixes this... It's located
- on afsg.apple.com and aux.support.apple.com under "unsupported" (I think).
- What this nifty little thing does is store away backup files of particular
- "Desktop" files... Sounds like this needs to be added to the FAQ if not
- in there now...
