Responding to the following:

"To make the Finder notice changes to icons, you need to clear
the INITED bit under the ResEdit Get Info. When the Finder
launches, it updates its info on all programs whose INITED bit
is turned off, and then sets the bit."

Actually, I believe it checks the file's INITED bit when that file's 
directory is opened. Scanning the entire disk for non-inited files
would be murder! So, you don't have to restart or reload the finder, 
you just have to (close and) open the directory that file is in.
