Here's a suggestion/wish for the next upgrade (or a patch to?) System
7. For those of us with small screens (SE, Plus, SE/30), how about
some way to view the DESKTOP in "Small Icon" mode?  Leave the trash as
is, if you want, but I'd love to have my whole desktop in "small
icons".  This would let me put more on it... :)
