I'll add my own 6.0.4 observation:

It fixes some of the problems that BackDrop used to have on my SE/30 under
6.0.3.  Now, moving icons on the desktop will still mess up the picture, but
moving/opening windows has no negative effect; in fact, opening a full-screen
window will fix all the errors caused by moving icons around.

Wow, looks like maybe that incompatibility was Apple's problem after all...
(just a little good-natured ribbing, Chuq!=-).

Ciao,
Danno
