I think you must have misread the documentation.  The IconWrap INIT has
to run BEFORE the last icon in the first row.  I've got IconWarp running
long before the end of the row, and it works fine.

According to the docs:

    In order to be effective, IconWrap must run at some point BEFORE the
    first row of icons hits the right edge of the screen; if this is a
    problem, simply rename IconWrap so that its name is alphabetically
    superior to the last INIT in the first row.

The confusion probably arose from the term "alphabetically superior",
which means the INIT should be earlier in the alphabet, not the next
alphabetically.  It is somewhat vague, I agree.

I have no relation to IconWrap, other than being a satisfied customer
who didn't want anyone to think it wasn't as nice a utility as it is.
