How about this: each icon info file has a part that tells it where to appear
on the screen. Use this to determine which task gets executed first.

The novice user just has to open the startup window, arrange his icons
left to right, top to bottom like:

	1 2 3
	4 5 6

then select them all and do a snapshot. Upon startup, the amiga can look
at the .info files and find their starting location and use that to decide
which one gets executed first.
