I've noticed a couple of times that the menu bars disappear
from the desktop of my boss' Mac IIci when it is in the finder
with no applications running. (Usually, when this occurs I am
trying to use the IIci as a server, with TOPS or InBox.) It
seems to have only begun this behavior recently (since I
upgraded from TOPS 2.0 to TOPS 3.0) with no other significant
changes I can think of, except that I greatly increased the
system heap recently, too. When the bars disappear, I've only
been able to recover by restarting with the restart switch.

Has anyone else seen such behavior (the desktop and disk icons
remain, but the menus disappear) and have you figured out the
cause and solution?
