I asked this question before, but never got a response. I thought  
there used to be a way in the Standalone builder settings to include  
the standard and metacard image libraries in the standalone.  
Regardless of whether that's true or if I just dreamed it, it seems  
like there ought to be a way to do so. If one makes heavy use of  
these image libraries for button icons, shouldn't there be a way to  
automatically include them in the standalone? There are no obvious  
clues to the new developer that the nifty icons you used in the IDE  
are going to mysteriously disappear when you build the standalone.  
Dave's question is a witness to that, and I've been bitten by it  
myself a couple of times.
