 You're probably using "StartupDesk", or a similar OLD init. Tim Maroney's
"Backdrop" INIT (posted to comp.binaries.mac not too long ago) doesn't
have this problem... the desktop background is refreshed after the icons
have finished marching along the bottom of the screen. This is on a
Plus or SE, of course... and I've never seen any problems with the several
INITs of this type for the Mac II.
