Well, you could create a transparent XPM; whatever's underneath it
should show through. This is more resource-intensive, however.

You have a few options. You can comment out the Exec line in your
autoexec file:

#       Exec    "I"     sh ~/GNUstep/Library/AfterStep/.workspace_state &

or you could chmod 400 .workplace_state and zero that out:

-r--------    1 user      group           0 Jun 24  2000 .workspace_state

or you could recompile AS without support to it.

Hope this helps.
