Subject:	SCOUG-Help: Lock in Place

Content Type: text/plain

Does anyone use this for their desktop objects ? Do
you have any problems that may be associated with it ?

I started using Lock in Place (at Steve Schiffman's
suggestion, I believe), after a string of scrambled
desktops that happens every so often, apparently
caused by some subtle mistake committed inside
Mozilla. (Mozilla being run full screen, so the
desktop underneath is unseen, until exiting or
minimizing Moz.) I don't recall exactly what the
gaffe happened to be. Schiffman outlined it for me
once, step by step, and I should have written it down
. . . .

Anyway, Lock in Place does NOT prevent this desktop
object scramble from happening, due to some bug in WPS
desktop objects (if they are Shadows, and most of mine
are), which Steven mentioned in the past.

Now here is the main question. UNIMAINT has been
crashing for me during attempted desktop restores, and
I think the reason may be Locked in Place objects.
ISTR doing successful desktop restores, and not so
very long ago. If I'm right, undoing the Lock in
Place for these objects may well bring the desktop
restores back as a cure. I sent Unimaint error dumps
to Jim Read, and he found no "smoking gun" to shed any
light on this.
