The working icon is generated by the window system, that is it will not come
up until the wind loadable device driver is loaded. You are correct about when
it comes up, only when the active window has been blocked on input for some
time. There are utilities on THE STORE! for modifying the bit map for the icon,
if you want to see something else besides the death star. As for CPU
consumption, don't worry, it is all aligned long word moves, ignoring what was
on the screen before.
