icons, I just keep getting the default icon.

The Finder will not update its database of app/document type/icon associations in some cases. Creating an app by building it seems to be one of them. Here's how to give it a kick, in order of easiest to hardest:

* Log out and back in again
* Take your app, move it someplace else (perhaps across partitions), and move it back again
* rm ~/Library/Preferences/LS*, then log out and back in (but this may delete custom app/type associations... be careful)

This is all horrible voodoo, but it usually works after a few tries. I would love to know the "right" way to do this, if there is one.

Of course, we can't expect end users to do this. I think the Finder works in the majority of the end-user cases (like when the user downloads an app, or inserts a CD with an app on it) but there is just something about this local-building case that it misses. I have no idea what exactly the problem is.
