I guess it depends on what you're trying to do.

Indeed. On X, IC is tied into LS as far as *helper applications* go. So, if you call ICLaunchURL you'll get the user's preferred web browser. However, it isn't tied into LS (or indeed anything) as far as extension <-> file type mappings. So if you call ICMapFilename to set a downloaded file's type and creator and then launch it with LS, you won't get the same result as if you'd left the type and creator set to '????' and then launched it with LS.
