Sorry to say, but here I can't help you further - as I mentioned I did 
not try it out, I killed the Pre-Desktop-Area intentionally from the 
very beginning...but my guess is, it could be possible, buth if, then 
with at least a little fiddling around, so I didn't want to get my hands 
dirty and went directly to the CD-Set (the CD-Set I got from IBM 
consists of 3, so I am thinking what will be contained in the 7 you 
got...?-| )

Further advice you can get from the thinkpad-mailing-list:
http://mailman.linux-thinkpad.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-thinkpad or for 
the beginning a search in their archives (google with 
site:mailman.linux-thinkpad.org after the search terms brings only 
results from that site, btw)

A quick jump to google with "pre desktop area 
site:mailman.linux-thinkpad.org" revealed the following, maybe 
interesting...(it's in the middle of the thread, but the possible issues 
here evolve with the mail linked below...)
