Answer: I don't check if they've been deleted :)
It's not a full-fledged launcher, it's just a few programmable icons that I
stick on my main form because I had extra room -- a set of related apps, all
of them defaulting to ROM apps. If you tap the icon and it doesn't launch
(because that's when I check), then you just have to go into the prefs and
pick another -- or reinstall the app. Really it's no big deal, though of
course I wouldn't do this in a real "launcher" application.
