Actually, if you recall, TSVN clashes with TopDesk (www.snadboy.com) on
my computer. This has the smell of the same root problem. IIRC, menus
are a "black box" and owner-draw menus are the "holy grail" of Windows
programming.

BTW, that link fixes the problem with right-clicking items in TopDesk
causing TopDesk to crash _BUT_ now all of TSVN's icons have disappeared.
  WinZIP, OTOH, still shows its 16-color icons even under TopDesk. Any
chance of getting 16-color icons to show up for TSVN when following the
directions in the aforementioned link. I realize 16-color icons will
look _terrible_, but that doesn't bother me any.
