Ah.  Well, at least I'm consistent.  Five years in, and still making
silly mistakes.

I have been using an INI file that works with your desktop 3.2.3.
However, for some reason it's not working with the new desktop.  Two
windows should automatically open, but they don't.  The desktop also
does not appear to be automatically detecting drives anymore.

Apart from this, stability seems pretty good.  Output is not working
(gets a BAD FUNCTION error message), but I successfully ran three
applications at the same time.
