Hi Harry,

I think Colin may have already answered your question,
but in any case I've only tried this once, and the
result was a non-starter -- probably for *other*
reasons, as I mentioned earlier. The original desktop
was clearly present in the tree structure of the
migrated partition, however. The trick is going to be
how one reinstates it as the *official* desktop, and
how complete it happens to be vis-a-vis what you
started with, pre-migration. I'm hoping the reference
Colin cited also points the way to this.
