Ok, stupid question time.
1. Is the need for the autorelease pool because of the use of
setApplicationIconImage, or because of the array that is being used in
conjunction with setApplicationIconImage?
2. Would putting the calls to setApplicationIconImage in a class
method also stop the memory leak?
Thanks,
