Summary: Rebuilding the desktop


Lately, I've found, on the various nets, some nice Icons to use with my SE and
II.  They are pasted into the icon resuorces that are a part of system, 
easy access, etc.  This brought about a craze on my part of altering some of the
icons on some applications that seem to be nothing more than the standard
icon that comes out of the compiler, fiddling with icons in general....

No, we all know that when you change an icon, you must let your desktop know
about the change.  The way to do this is to rebuild the desktop when you
boot the mac, by holding down meta-pretzel-cockebottle-dojigger whilest
rebooting.

The problem?  After doing this, programs (and only ones in the system folder)
either stop working (can't be read by any program) or vanish altogether!  Now,
I've been warned that things like this might happen to software that is not
compatible with the current system/finder (I use the release version of
multifinder (yes troopies, it is out - dealers should even have it 
REAL SOON NOW)  6.0/5.5??).  So, ok, but I find it kinda weird that the
control panel general file regualrly disappears....  And the Thunder
supplementary disctionary, but not the main one....  Theings like that.  Anyone
else have this happen?  Any comments?
