I would suggest, if you find no solution, you let IBM know about your
problem as they have the resources(???incentive???) to fix it.
BTW, you may or may not know but Warpcenter is a 1993-94 vintage Lotus
concoction that IBM has 'tweaked'.  I think we might be better off
without it(for now). I have hangs on startup during WPS starting, after
WPS restart I have bare Warpcenter and no trace of my customized WC.

Sorry about lack of help. I've never had more than 5 trays and 30 apps
shadowed.
