Thanks to all those who answered my question, which was essentially this:

I set the application icon in IB, but I still get a generic icon on the app,
even after I put it in my Apps dir and do Find Application.

The problem appears to be that the icon was saved without the alpha channel.
I resaved it with alpha, and it worked okay.  So in summary, your icon must
be:

 - 48 x 48 pixels
 - saved WITH alpha
 - If the above two are correct, the TIFF file will be 1292 bytes.

Now, for another question.  My Application icon works, but the savefile icon
doesn't.  Now, since my application is not fully operational yet, it doesn't
make savefiles.  I am under the impression, though that if I rename any file
with the correct extension, it should have the save file icon.  I tried
with a Edit file, but it shows up with the Generic Document icon.  I checked
the save file icon, and it is saved with alpha.  Any ideas on this?
