I've seen a lot of discussion about making snapshot unassign
an icon's position in a window.  I don't have my amiga handy
to test it, but it seems to me that one ought to be able to
snapshot an icon which is outside of its window ("on the workbench")
and that workbench ought to assign such an icon no position.
[because it sure doesn't put the icon outside the window when
you open the window...]

Ok, maybe this works, maybe it doesn't.  I'll admit that it isn't
as nice as an unsnapshot option.  But it OUGHT TO work.
