This seems to work great for me.  One note: Use Desktop Manager with the
System 6 partition.  Then you will get only one desktop rebuild the first
time that System 7 sees a partition.  Thereafter, since they use the same
database files, you don't get the desktop rebuild every time you switch as
others have been seeing without Desktop Manager.

At least this is what I have seen so far.  I have not have more than one
Desktop rebuild per partition even though I've switched many times.
