I've always wondered why my label 'erases' the shortcut image that I have it placed on in my theme... If I don't specify a background image (which, consequently is just a clip of the original image) then the label actually shows the desktop wallpaper through the shortcut image, instead of just being 'on top' of the shortcut image!!

When I get home I'll try to remember to take a screenshot... My theme is Plain Sailin and you can get it from http://www.lsthemes.com if you want
