Well, I finally seem to have exceeded the critical mass for INITs in
my System Folder. My setup is 8MB Mac II, PMMU, Supermac Color Monitor
and Videocard (containing the Menubar) to the right of Apple RGB
Monitor and Videocard, lots of INITs. Here are my observations:

 - ColorFinder: In the Finder, the desktop is not redrawn correctly
   after the Apple or Special menu is accessed. I tried different
   loading orders, but to no avail.

 - PopKeys: Any click on the Apple screen (to the left of the menubar)
   activates PopKeys, which makes the INIT unusable for me. Also,
   there is some interference with ApplicationMenu, since they use the
   overlapping areas of the screen for activation.

 - WindowShade: Causes Word 3 and 4 to crash when put in the
   background under MultiFinder. Load order seems irrelevant.

 - Cmdr.Dialog: Causes screen updates to be delayed too much, so that
   when switching applications under MF window contents are unreadable.

 - Thanks to the net I finally managed to get TappyType to work by
   renaming it to load before Suitcase II.

 - Temperament II stopped killing the Word Temp files in my System
   Folder. It has never made any sounds on startup either (as it is
   supposed to, according to the docs).

These problems made me yank these INITs even though they would be
extremely helpful, lots of fun, etc. if operational. I have also heard
rumors about a list of INIT incompatibilities that is being compiled
somewhere. Can anybody substantiate this? 

Any enlightenments in these matters are greatly appreciated. Thanks.
