(Sorry I can't be more helpful -- in my 10+ years of OS/2 usage, I
can't say I've _ever_ seen anything like this happen).

Same here. I've _always_ ran the WarpCenter at the top of the screen.
But I've never had any problems with my icons creeping down the screen.
And no, I'm not doing a forced sorting, or running in list view (I've
seen people do this... :P). My desktop has 9 items on it, arranged by
hand, and every one is locked in place.

twice in my career, but not very often.
I suspect it's caused by having more than one (conflicting) piece of
software which tries to adjust the desktop size.
Try making sure that the eCenter 'reduce desktop work area' setting is
disabled, if you run eCenter/xCenter.

I don't doubt that at all. Statements I've made on the subject probably
havn't made one point obvbious. As well as seeing this problem for many
years, I've also noted that it is very sporadic. In fact, I don't
remember seeing it for a long time before installing MCP Plus. ;-)

Ah -- well that might help narrow things down a bit, as I'm running
WSeB with FP3. The SC subscription for the server stream is far too
expensive for me to afford these days to upgrade.

Well I've reinstalled enough times already, one more can't hurt. But
I've always used Easy Installation and haven't a clue how to install
without ewps. And even if there were a way to remove it I'd prefer
starting from scratch.

The installation lets you choose to install the extensions or not.
I don't know if these work but if you look in:
x:\ecs\system\ewps\install\
you'll find 2 CMD files 'deinst.cmd' and 'delobjs.cmd'. If you
want to remove the extensions you could give them a try.

Just a WAG, but make sure that you don't have any icons, near the top,
or bottom, of the screen. If one, or more, is too close, it might
cause the desktop window to attempt to compensate for that, and it
might try to move the window a little.
Hope this helps...
