I'm not sure if this applies fully to your case ......i remember building
mac standalones and having to manually replace the standalone icns icon in
the resources folder.  u can tell which one needs replacing because the
byte size of the icon is 0.

but i used to set the application icon in the standalone settings.  maybe
the problems are related.
