Right problem, wrong solution.  Apple should make the Finder just like
every other Mac application and allow configuring the stuff that's in
LAYO from the Finder itself, and then save it in a preferences file
in the Preferences folder.  Then people who don't or won't use ResEdit
can still configure the Finder, and the customization doesn't go away
when you install a new Finder.
