Probably, it'll be enuf to push all Resource-Code from the Desktop out onto
Disk (perhaps DESKTOP.RSC) and loaded at boottime.
I DISLIKE the PC/GEM-behaviour of loading DESKTOP.APP every time after a
program has finished and am glad not to have to wait until the desktop is 
active again after a ST-program terminates !

Having the possibility of patching the desktops' resources makes the machine
more personally, I suppose (Just like Icon-Patchers, DESKEDIT.ACC e.g. :-)
