I have a recent copy of the Desktop Manager, and have installed the
above fix, but I gave up on using DM because it didn't work invisibly.

When I installed it, the icons for the Hypercard stacks and SmartComm
configurations I had on my desktop were just the standard "unknown
file" icons.  It seemed like if I had a window open with the application
in it I was fine.

Obviously, I was doing something wrong, and I'm sure someone out
there can tell me what it was.

(On the good side, the fact that this solution didn't work forced me
to clean up my disk, which makes backups and desktop file updates
go faster.)
