One thing that seems to work most of the time for me is to do Get Info on
the app, click on the icon in the Get Info window, and then hit the "delete"
key. This seems to cause the finder to refresh it's idea of the
application's icon from the app itself (or something like that). Most of the
time it makes the correct icon appear.
