I don't believe it myself, but everyonce in a while I have been able to get the
finder to update the desktop this way:

I double click on the folder that the changed icon is in, and the finder seems
to update that folder.  It works more often with the system folder.

This is very unreliable.  It never works when I want it too, but every once in
a while it does.  Now if its just a bug, I think apple should add it to the
finder code.  It seems much better than rebuilding the whole desktop of a hard
disk, especially if you have files without their creating applications.
