It would be nice if INIT31 would make sure that I can tell what is
being loaded on startup. I see two things that need done to
accomplish this.
First, arrange it so that inits don't keep blanking the icons,
possibly by patching initgraf() or by keeping the icons on an
off-screen bitmap.
Second, it should display the icon with the file name below it for
every INIT, cdev and rdev that it calls:
1) draw the icon and name for the init.
2) return the pen so that the init will draw over the icon if
it redraws the icon, or an x'ed out version of its icon
3) call the init.
4) repsoition the pen for the next init.
This would catch the unhelpful inits that don't show an icon, as well as
some potential virus activity (hmmm, I don't have in init called "desktop").
