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?

Not the kind of behavior I expect from NeXTstep. I wonder if this is fixed in 3.0? ------ Please don't post RTF unless it's germain to what you are saying. I don't like 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.
