I think I am to blame for this, because I see this problem (having to
rebuild the desktop to get an applet to work) a lot more with Python
than with anything else. I think I don't fully understand either how
to kick the finder after BuildApplet has created a new application or
exactly how BNDL resources, the Inited finfo bit and all these other
thingies work together.
So if someone wants to have a look at BuildApplet and friends and make
a fool of me in public: by all means, be my guest:-)
