What about it? <img src="graemlins/bugeye.gif" border="0" alt="[Skeptical]" />
If you run sudo fs_usage immediately after you boot up, you'll see that the Finder automatically starts cataloging all apps and their icons. I believe this is the equivalent of the older "rebuilding desktop" method.
I think I read somewhere (the OS X Missing Manual by David Pogue, maybe) that OS X doesn't require you to rebuild the desktop. What's up, are you getting general slowdown and generic icons where the originals should be?
