I thought I had posted a reply to this, but it seems to have been
dropped.  I'll post again and apologize in advance for the double
posting in case both get through.

Point #1, icons stack themselves in neat little rows when you stow
windows.  This new feature (or mis-feature, depending on your
expectations) is described in the release notes (relnotes -p eoe1 -c 5)
and in the 4sight Programmer's Guide, in the default "user.ps" file
in /usr/NeWS/lib and in the example customization
log in account "4Dgifts". 

Or, if you don't care to learn about  any new features, you can tell 4sight to
have the pre 3.2 behavior by adding the line
	UserProfile /TidyState /Never put
to the file "user.ps" in your home directory.
