Thank you, Matthew. Your answer supports my original statement of using
Rox as a 'simple fix' for the user's question. Unfortunately, it doesn't
resolve all the issues they have, primarily moving the minimized icons
to a new screen location.

I think perhaps this reader doesn't like (or perhaps doesn't understand)
Rox-Filer.
