For no apparent reason, the little colour globe from /Net is not there anymore.  There was
never a .dir.tiff under 3.0 that I noticed, but for some reason it's just gone.  Any ideas
on where it went and how to get it back?

Thanks,

Scott

I can see it on mine.  The icons that Workspace use are all in  
/usr/lib/NextSteo/Workspace.app (and WM.app within it).  As I recall, the  
commonest reason for losing icons on home and Net folders was if you were  
using the large file system option; could this be it?

Are you sure you still have the network files mounted. If the file system is  
not mounted, there is no globe.

Apparently the problem was that autonfsmount was not behaving properly.  Every now and
then when I reboot I see: autonfsmount: Can't get my address.  No furhter explanation, but
there seems to be positive correlation between that and the missing /Net icon.  

I'm not mounting anything on startup though, so I don't know what it is complaining about.
