Icon questions

[Tony Facca]

We are beginning to acquire quite an installed base of Personal Iris's here at
the lab, and one strange problem has come up on several occassions.  There are
several icons that get started by the system (tools, windows, and demos, I 
think) and we add a few local ones to the "user.ps" in the /usr/NeWS/lib
directory for all to use.  Each user may then add a couple of their own.

Why is it that sometimes, not all of the icons get fired up??  This seems to
happen more frequently on the 8Meg systems than on the 12 and 16Meg ones. 
One user complained that she actually got two of the same icon?  Is this 
possible (without starting a second "chest" from the command line, of course)?

Has anyone else noticed this?  Or what about icons popping up in different 
order?  When you are the only user, shouldn't the system do pretty much the
same thing each time you login?  It would be nice to always have the icons in
the same place, so I could get used to them.
