I think this may be the problem. I was going to fry some chicken last
night (though it was only half a chicken) and I got so frustrated with
everything else that I slammed a cold tuna salad sandwich instead. Bad
form.
And JJ commented:
There is no problem with your icons. If you rebuild your desktop files and
it works rigth for you, it will work rigth for your users. The only
problem is about drag&drop capabilities of your droplet (if u' need 'em ;-)
(By the way JJ, drag and drop capability is 'restored' to run-only
droplets by matching BNDL signature to creator.)

Thank you both for the guidance.
I _think_ I've been doing everything according to recipe with respect to
bundle bits, BNDL, FREF, etc. I haven't even dared changing icons. And
the script code has been proven more than once on other machines... but
not unless/until the desktop is rebuilt on the other machine. It is very
definitely a problem of the user's desktop DB not 'seeing' the app until
the user's desktop has been rebuilt.
But what about OS X? If one creates a script app in X, does all the
right things to it using ResEdit (in Classic), how does one force X to
see it? My understanding is that the desktop can no longer be rebuilt in
X.
Again, it's a matter of having no problem 'here'... the stuff all
works... but rather 'there', that is, on the user's machine.
I don't know if it's relevant or not, but I've noticed in X that script
apps don't retain a checked or set 'Inited' box. Put a check in it,
close and save the ResEdit info window, run the script, reopen in ResEdit
and 'Inited' is unchecked.
I will give it all yet another try. And be as methodical about it as
it's possible for me to be.
Perhaps it will take a turkey sacrifice... or pterodactyl.
