This will now occur anytime the same wm is started. To prevent/change this when this is not what you want to occur you must 'Exit' gmc. This is not accomplished by just closing the the program, that still leaves the actual process running. In gmc from the Commands drop down menu select Exit. This stops the process and the icons will disappear. Charles
