hidden vnc icon ...

[tgray@adacplastics.com]

A gentleman named Eric Freeman claimed to have written it and 
made it available to anyone who emailed him about it.  Very 
personable fellow from the emails we traded.  Don't know if he'd be 
happy to email the number of people that ask about it on this list 
though.  I am considering putting it up on an angelfire page or 
something.... just to have a quick answer available to those who 
want it.

As for the philosophy that you shouldn't have it if you can't figure 
out how to do it yourself... well, I'll elucidate on my take on that if 
anyone is interested.
