Do you have a partitioned hard disk? If you have files or aliases on
partition 1 that belong to applications that are on partition 2,
then it's possible that those icons won't be correct when the
desktops are rebuilt for all partitions. When partition 1 rebuilds
its desktop, it doesn't know about the applications on partition 2
as there is no desktop file for that. It's something I noticed once
on the 8500, but I don't see it on the PowerBook because of the way
that the order in which the partitions are rebuilt and the location
of the partition holding the applications. If you don't have a
partitioned drive, then I don't know why you would need an
additional restart to get the icons to sort themselves out.
Then again, it may be some reason I have no clue about.
Bill, you appear to have all of your clues in order. :p
My drive is partitioned (I should have mentioned that initially) and
that's exactly what causes the "glitch".
