I tried e-mailing this, but n.g.:

In comp.sys.mac.apps you write:

I think you'll find that the only reason the other icons disappear is that
you're plotting your artwork on top of them.  Try changing the name of
the INIT or cdev that gives you a startup screen to run -after- Disinfectant's.
Hm.  Waitaminute.  Disinfectant's INIT is supposed to run -first-.  Are
you using an old version of the INIT?
