	I have also had similar problems on 6.0.5 with the Desktop Manager. But
here is an even funnier one!
	I have been using Desktop Manager on 6.0.5 for quite a while but I
still have the desktop files lying around on my HD partitions.
	I got system 7 and installed it on a clean partition on my HD. I had
no other partitions mounted. When I had completed the installation, I used
the Silverlining DA (which I had "copied" from the original SL disk) to mount
my other partitions.
	The system immediately starts rebuilding my desktops and "configuring"
my partitions for System 7. First it does my system 6.0.5 startup partition
(which is NOT the current startup partition, that's system 7). OK so far.
	Then it starts to rebuild my applications partition. When my
applications partition is complete, ResEdit 2.1 which is in a folder on the
application partition has ended up with the Icon for INIT Picker which only
exists on my system 6.0.5 startup partition.
	What's even stranger, is that this only appears when I run system 7.
When I run 6.0.5 (with DM) I have the normal ResEdit Jack-In-The-Box. Also,
it is ONLY the system 7 finder window and get-info box that has the wrong Icon,
the correct icon shows up in the Apple Menu and in other places where Icons 
are displayed.
	You figure it out!
