No you don't have to tell the uer to rebuild the
desktop ; when you copy a file from a different volume
onto your hard disk, or use an installer program, the
desktop database is automatically updated.
If all the bits have been properly set and all icons
are present, the problem is merely that creating a new
standalone doesn't tell the Finder to update the
desktop.
And before anyone claims this is a bug, no other IDE I
know of does this ; but if you want to Bugzilla it, go
on ahead and have Monte give it his best shot.
