Line 2300 refers to the Iconbar object using Iconbar%. The variable
hasn't been set because Transient hasn't received the Toolbox event
(Toolbox_ObjectAutoCreated) for its creation yet.
This can be fixed by adding 'Iconbar% = 0' to the Initial file but that
only fixes the 'Unknown or missing variable' error.
The real problem is that not one Toolbox_ObjectAutoCreated event is
received when Transient is placed early in the start-up sequence, for
any of its objects. Presumably the Toolbox hasn't been fully initialised
yet and fails to deliver these events - it looks like the Wimp filters
the Toolbox puts around Toolbox applications aren't there yet.

Yes, I find the same here. Starting Transient slightly later must have
allowed enough time for the Toolbox modules to fully initialise.
