Humm. You should have a Program Object template in the Templates Folder.
Using the Create another option from an existing Program Object is almost
the same thing and starting with a template, but there are some
differences.

Take a look in the [boot] section of system.ini. It should be similar to:
display.drv=smgax64.drv
sdisplay.drv=smgax64.drv
fonts.fon=8514sys.fon
fixedfon.fon=8514fix.fon
oemfonts.fon=8514oem.fon
os2gdi.exe=GDI.EXE

The Launchpad shutdown should work. It's all calling the same kernel/WPS
functions Something else is broken.

Well, there's never nothing going on. However, my first guess is you
might seeing the eCSClock chewing up CPU cycles. Try shutting it down and
see what happens.

Why? eCS is OS/2 Warp4 or MCP2 depending on what FP's you have installed.
It's all the same code. The Desktop looks different, but that's because
SSI reworked the resources to give it a different look.
