Ok, so I tried my suggestion. It works, but it has a disadvantage.
I set up a link from BWharf to Wharf, configured BWharf in my
~/G/L/A/wharf file, and set it to go in the autoexec.
In the database, I gave it these parameters:
> Style "BWharf" StartsOnDesk 1, NoTitle, StaysOnBack,
> WindowListSkip, NoHandles
(That's all on one line in the database file, of course). Now, the
problem is twofold. First, the "StartsOnDesk 1" setting forces AS to look
at Desk 1 when starting up. I'm sure this could be overcome, but it's a
bit of a problem for now.
Second, and more important, making the BWharf not sticky (I ought to have
anticipated this) means that it stays on its original "pane", so if you
want a smaller Wharf on Desk 1, you'll get it only on one pane.
Hope that's clear.
