Well, Workbench breaks it, so its not really safe.

Everytime preferences are saved, workbench resets the menu for the new font
size. This causes the "Iconify" submenu to go away.

Occasionally the ENTIRE "workbench" menu is ghosted. I don't know why or what
causes it, but even the word "Workbench" in the menu strip is ghosted.

Actually, I like it. Almost makes non-interlaced screen bearable. Now, if
only it didn't get rid of workbench windows (but actually iconified them),
had the icons go away when the windows went away (such as "System Request" 
windows), etc. And no, how does it get rid of the windows?
