You just helped me figure something out that's been baffling me for a while. Normal my L2 windows open wherever they were when I closed them but occasionally that get pushed to the left and piled up on top of each other. I figured it was my quote provider but I was wrong. When I play Minesweeper I change the pixels to make the game bigger, apparently changing the pixels effects where windows open and the arrangement of icons on the desk top.

Music Firms File Suit Over Lewd Holiday Songs dailynews.yahoo.com Wednesday May 24 11:27 AM ET NEW YORK (Reuters) - The owners of the copyrights to some of America's most popular holiday songs sued a musical production company on Tuesday for selling such lewd tunes as ``Rudolph the Deep Throat Reindeer'' and ``Frosty the Pervert.'' The suit, filed in U.S. federal court in Manhattan, claimed that Scott Gordon and his Party on Parody Productions (POPP) used the copyrighted works without authorization and sold them on tapes and compact discs entitled ``Matt Rogers' Rated X Mas.'' The plaintiffs, which include Haven Gillespie Music Publishing Co. and Warner/Chappell Music Co., allege that the songs are not parodies as claimed by POPP. ``They are simply unauthorized exploitations of plaintiffs' famous holiday songs for cynical commercial gain, with the lyrics of the original works replaced by lewd lyrics,'' the suit alleged. POPP began manufacturing and selling the music in 1998 and now distributes over the Internet through Amazon.com and other retail distributors, the suit alleged. ``Rated X Mas'' contains eight songs, seven of which are based entirely on music from copyrighted works, the suit alleged. The plaintiffs hold the copyrights for the music in question, which includes ``Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town,'' ''Frosty the Snowman'' and ``I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus.'' The suit gives examples of graphic lyrics that turn the happy melodies into tunes about Santa's sexual encounter with Mommy and Rudolph's life as a transvestite.
