[comp.sys.mac.misc] Apple's Desktop Manager & Icons

	I have been using Apple's (unsupported) desktop manager for a while
now (desktop updating took too long without it) and I've been having a
problem getting the finder to use the correct Icons for documents without
BNDL resources.
	Specifically, when I create a document on a disk/partition that doesn't
have the owning Application on it, I get a generic document icon instead of
the specific icon the document is supposed to have. Doing "Get Info" in the
finder correctly identifies the owning app.
	Copy the document to the partition containing the app and the icon
is correct on that partition. Copy the document back and the icon is
generic on the destination. Copy the app to the same partition as the as
the document with the generic icon, and the new app has the right icon but
the icons for the document remain generic.

	How do I fix this???

	Thanks for any help you can give me.
