Holding the Command key (aka the Apple key) and pressing Tab will cycle through your open applications. It's easier to Cmd-Tab if you are Copy (Cmd-C) and Pasting (Cmd-V) to and from various applications.

I picked this app up a while ago when it was donationware but didn't get much use out of it because of that dumb Expose issue, a mere folder to hide everything worked better. I might buy it now though, seeing as it has Expose ignoring powers.

If you don't need all the whizz-bang features, Camouflage is a free alternative that does nothing but hide your desktop icons - http://www.briksoftware.com/products/camouflage/

Why can't there be an app that persists your desktop icon positions between logon sessions :( I'm sick of ordering my icons from vertical to horizontal everytime I log in.

I'm glad to see someone finally noticed this little gem of a utility!
I've been using it for months, and I bought the Pro version as soon as it was released. I use it more as a productivity tool than for screenshots, and since it added "Window Cleaning" I was able to finally replace the abandoned Spirited Away.

#3: Something strange is going on there. By default, Mac OS X doesn't re-organize your icons at all. Are you using a personal machine? Or one for a company or school? In the Finder, have you tried going to View > Show View Options (or click on the desktop and hit cmd-j) to see if any of those options are messing with your icon arrangements?
It sounds like, in your case, the opposite might be true: either an option or an app might be running that is messing with your icons, because Mac OS X - by default - does not.
