Rebooting was the key. I usually put my computer on hibernate until the weekend. It sure would be nice if Fences said something about rebooting when it does the install/update. Otherwise, I have to assume it works fine without it, similar to other applications I install occasionally. Something to add before it gets out of Beta, I suppose?
I got the same expired version message, but it hasn't been taking my icons for a couple of weeks, so I know an "expired version" was not the initial problem.
I am using 0.99.2032. I updated yesterday, hoping there was a bug fix in there somewhere.
Fences doesn't seem to want to take any more of my icons. I drag them into a fence, but the icons are still independent of the fence in question. I am using Fences on XP and up until now have been very happy with it. My desktop is a temporary container for documents I am working on at the moment, so the Fences keep me organized by project.
