A MUCH BETTER way to do this is simply to switch the 'Inited' Finder-flag
off, using ResEdit or DiskTop or any program that edits the Finder-flags.
That way, when you open the folder in which the application lives, the
Finder does the bundle-shuffle with it, thus accepting it's (new) icon.

Continually re-building the Desktop is not a good thing,as you have discovered.
