This happened to me when we got our NeXT Station.  My account on the station
was made the way one typically adds users on a UNIX system.  Unfortunately,
I was missing some files in the .NeXT directory of my home directory.  I
would suggest that you look to see whether you have the same files as
user me.  The other thing is that if you don't use the preferences in
the login in window to "set"  the icons, they won't stay around when you
log in next.  

One of you system-guru-types can probably provide the specifics.
