Robert,

Interesting idea, thanks. I did a get info and the date said 1/22. I  
am guessing that if Apple doesn't reread the file every X minutes  
then it should come up as the same as the last save. Either the  
overlay is being done in memory (and it reflects what the panel says)  
or something is getting past the last update reference.  The other  
possible option is that there is an error in the file somewhere and  
when the system goes to read it the data is either incorrect or  
garbage. A delete of the file should tell me. But I would (HOPE) that  
at least Apple would report an error (if there is one) on the console  
at start up time (it doesn't seem to).

I will try and trash it weds and see if it makes any difference. I  
will report back then.
