Jacob,

In your composite image, does the applet.app icon refer to  
applications built with buildapplet.app, or buildapplet.app itself?   
If the former, what is the rationale for using different icons for  
py2app-built apps, and applets?  They're both applications as far as  
the user is concerned.
