Black Box problems

I have run into a couple of problems with Black Box:

1) Sometimes the screen saver acts perversely.  What happens is that it fails to
start up after the alloted time; i.e. I can go way from the terminal for say an
hour and when I return the screen saver is not running.  However, as soon as I
move the mouse or type a character it kicks in.  This seems to happen when MS Word
4.0 is the active application.

My machine configuration is as follows:

MacIvory (Mac II with Symbolics Ivory board), NS Ethernat card, Radius color
monitor.

I am using the following INITs:

AASK
Application Menu
Boomerang
DA Menuz
Radius II Display (master switch is OFF)
MacIvory
Public Folder
Radius Math Accelerator
Rear Window
Scroll Limit
SUM Shield
Temperment
Tempo II
TOPS 
Sound Master
Windows
Window Shade

2) How does Black Box determine the ICON to put in the task strip?  The MacIvory
Genera application (the one that launches the Symbolics Lisp system) has its own
icon.  But that icon is not what appears on the strip; instead I just get an icon
of a hand writing on a document (This is the same icon that black box uses in the
dialog it puts up when you click on an empty box in the task strip; i.e. the
dialog box with the choice of "Application" or "Desk Accessory")
