Yes.  I found it in one of the manuals.  I added the following line
to my Workspace menu:

"Restart"                 RESTART

This will restart the window manager, thus forcing it to reread
the Workspace menu file.  It does appear to do strange things to the screen
(ghost images of previously used open windows show up temporarily on my 386i)
and sometimes moves my icons around as if it loses track
of which one belongs where on the screen.
