[BUG] 5.0.2 start-up anomaly - Btn Icons not displayed

[Kay C Lan]

Thanks Scott but I think Jacque is right, the 5.0.2 build has messed up the
start-up sequence. The problem I'm seeing only occurs if I start my stack
by double clicking on it when LC isn't running. The workaround is simply to
start LC first then open my stack - so the Inks are OK.
