This stems from the fact that Windows Icons are a different size than OS/2 
icons.  OS/2 resizes the icons to fit in the same  screen space, but you 
often end up getting cartoonish looking icons.  Not much you can do here 
except pick up an icon library and replace the icons with ones that have been 
tuned to look better.

I'm presuming that you mean in full screen Windows sessions?  Try jacking up 
the session priority and idle sensitivity.  Also turn on mouse exclusive 
access for full screen sessions.
