It seems likely that the problem is that GEM has not yet initialized when
MACICON is run from the AUTO folder.  After the AUTO programs have all had
their turn, GEM takes over, wiping out any changes (such as the shape of the
disk icon) to GEM which may have taken place from the AUTO folder programs.
Does that make sense?  In one sentence: programs which may alter GEM's
performance do not work when run from the AUTO folder.
