Why does my Finder sometimes Clean Up my desktop icons just because I've
drag-copied something onto the desktop?

And why does copying with Speed Doubler sometimes force the Finder to
quit?

(I want a full techy reply here, and to be honest the possibility of
cures for these bugs is secondary-but-would-be-nice.  I just wanna
*know*.)

BTW, is it in order for me to post all my Mac technical posts to both
these newsgroups or is there some rule I haven't grasped about which is
which?
