I doubt if you could patch it to eliminate the screen clearing.  The
screen is cleared when they initialize the Window Manager in their code.
This is done because the INIT may bring up a dialog requesting the
password.  This is strictly against MacDTS guidelines, but they do it
anyway!

What I've done is to rename it xAppleShare so that it runs at the END of
the INIT sequence.  Its much less irritating this way (although
xAppleShare then is last in the Chooser list too).
