I've had this same problem ever since I began using IB.  At first I
thought I must be doing something wrong.  But then I showed the problem
to a technical rep from NeXT and after several attempts even HE was
unable to get an application icon on my machine.  When he moved the
entire IB project to his machine and tried it, it worked.  He was unable
to determine what the problem was on my machine, and I'm still stuck
with it.  One suggestion was that my icon might exceed the 48 X 48
maximum size for application icons.  But the problem persists even with
icons well under 48 X 48.  

When I download applications off the archives, put them in my Apps
directory and do the Find Applications, I get the application icon
without any problem.  There is only a problem with apps that I have
created in IB on my own machine.  I'm running the original 1.0 OS, but
if this were a bug I would have expected a whole chorus of complaints by
now.  Does anyone have any idea of what's going on here?
