 TB1 (or TPB1): it's a touchpad, and lacks an OS/2 driver, alas, with
 Gibbon Double Click also failing to make use of the third button.
 That aside, Ctrl-Esc works, and two buttons on the desktop.  I'm
 not quite clear what a folder background is; it's apparently not
 inside a panel with icons, not on any icon, since that does nought.

 My phrasing was sloppy.  This will get me any *active* app, yes.
 Is there a shortcut that will equate to "bring the desktop to
 the fore, in front of all the open windows, so I can see
 all the icons on the desktop and select one"?  Not an active
 app, but starting up an icon I haven't yet touched.
 Plus, the separate issue on tiling that I've read about in some
 help, where you can make four open windows quarter the screen,
 say, that I haven't manage to find out how to do.
