Using resedit copy and paste the icons into the resource type ICN or
ICN# I can't remember which it is off hand into the Stuffit 1.1
application, this is so that if the icon is moved to another disk the
new icon gets copied.

Now either cut/paste the icon into the desktop file as above or reboot
and hold down the option & command keys and the same time, a window
will open up and ask if you really want to recreate the desktop.

I hope this helps a bit.
