When logged in as root, I keep a number of file viewers
running (using the "open as folder" command from Workspace)
to keep frequently consulted directories handy.  I notice that when I log out  
as root and log in as an ordinary user, the directories that I had "opened as  
folders" while logged-in as root appear with their file icons arranged in the  
small format used in the small file viewer windows that I opened as root.  In  
other words, the Workspace file viewer isn't re-sorting the file icons.  

This also happens, as others have previously remarked, when moving from one  
file viewer to another under the same login; but the preservation of the icon  
arrangement from one login to another is even worse.  Not the kind of behavior  
I expect
from NeXTstep.  I wonder if this is fixed in 3.0?

you imposing your taste in fonts on me....

Anyway, this is exactly what I would expect.  When you open another view of a  
window, the various aspects of that view are stored in that folder in a file  
called .places.wmd (I think).  

If you don't have write permission in that directory it's not written out.   
Root however can write 'most anywhere, so if root opens funny views, then other  
people have to suffer through it.  Sort of a mother knows best.
