This problem is no longer the case, there is a new version of
DiskDoubler that uses the original icon, except for a tiny
"DD" in the lower right hand corner of the icon. Call up
Salient and ask them to send you the latest version. It
includes an update program to fix all your old icons, and
a new init and program to handle the new icons.
