I think not. Disinfectant's INIT goes first, the startup screen comes second,
and everything else that draws a startup icon (Quickmail, Randomizer,
Gatekeeper etc) comes after, and all *their* icons go away.

I don't know if this would help, and secondly, as you point out, Disinfectant
should go first. I suppose I was wondering if there was some hidden option in
Disinfectant to "not show startup icon" or some ResEdit hack to get rid of it.
