I noticed something similar.  My solution was to have QEMM manager all the
high memory, and use QEMM's LOADHI.SYS and LOADHI.COM, rather than DOS
5.0's.  Also, I use DOS=HIGH but no UMBs.  With 4DOS, this resulted in 639K
of free DOS memory, and 598K of free memory for DESQview tasks.  If you
want, send me mail and I'll send you a copy of my CONFIG.SYS file.
