The app gets launched from whichever disk was mounted last, and on a particular
disk, the first entry in the DeskTop file is used.

This has the really obnoxious effect of always launching an application from
a fileserver even if there is a copy of the app on your hard disk.

I haven't found any predictable way to reorder the entries in the DeskTop file.

A "third party marketing opportunity" would be a Finder Hack that lets a user
manually pick out which application they really want launched, and have it
remembered.  If it can't be found, then the Finder would continue its search
path.
