Funny, I've noticed the same thing.  I have the standard Demos, Windows and
Tools icons up, plus one additional one called Hosts (it's straight outta
the manual, actually).  Sometimes Hosts comes up first, sometimes Tools
comes up first, I never know which.

There was also one isolated incident on a 4DGTX where the icons came up,
the user ran a few graphics programs, and voila, the icons had disappeared.
We had to log out and log back in to get the icons back.
