How do you choose save from desktop manager when it is an icon? The trick is to choose the "Minimize on use" option in the Destop Manager's view menu. Then save with the Main group box minimized. When the system comes up, Main will get run minimized and when it is run, the desktop manager will minimize itself. This is how it works under 1.2 and I don't think it is any different under 1.3.
