Is there a way to control how an application starts up in OS/2 1.2?
The Save feature of the Desktop Manager states that some programs use
the saved information to decide their appearance on the next start-up.
I found that File Manager for instance appeared indeed as an icon if
I did a Save when File Manager was iconized.

I tried the same with Communications Manager, but it worked not. I have CM
configured to start up VT100 terminal emulation and it is annoying to see
CM starting up as a full window application, destroying the PM Desktop
just to return to the desktop a few seconds later to run in iconized
form.
