The solution to this is to minimize your Win 2.x window under Win 3.0
instead of quitting.  Then click on the icon and bring up the settings
menu, and terminate the application.  Kludgy, but it works on my system.

Suggestion for Win 3.1:

	Have the PIF files include space for a user-definable icon, so
that when you minimize one that you've run, you can set your own icon 
instead of the *^*&^* DOS icon.
