Making Disk Images can turn you into a schizophrenic (this still applies to Leopard). Presuming the disk images you wish to make fit what it can do, I've found 'DMG Canvas.app' to make creating disk images for applications very straightforward. It may not support all the options possible for making disk images, but for making dmg's that are tailored towards being used as part of shipping an application/ system for end-users, it works very well for me. And it includes a CLI tool so that you can add creating the dmg to your build script. I just use it, I don't work for them. - aligning icons in sub folders: icons may move to random locations just to annoy you. This makes you feel like a sheepdog when this happens. This bug has been there since Mac OS X 10.2 at least. - with Leopard, you have to state for each sub-folder that by default, you want "View as Icons". - you can't apparently resize a disk image stored on a secondary volume if there's not enough available space on the startup volume. Just put aside the fact that the UI to resize disk images in Disk Utilities is a puzzle in itself (the command line is 1,000,000 times easier to understand) and that when a resize fails, you end up with a disk image partially screwed up.
