First off, check your database file to make sure it's not getting
sent to a desk that you don't have. The default database had a
"StartsOnDesk 1". Have you also check `ps` to see if it was running after
you clicked on the wharf button? Another possiblitiy could be that the
second word should be unique to all the *Wharf entries (I think this is
still the way it is); this means that you can't have something like:
*Wharf netscape foo.xpm Folder
*Wharf netscape bar.xpm Exec "-" netscape &
