Just about two minutes ago I wrote:

I am not a happy camper today. After upgrading to Panther last night, and being disappointed by a number of other OT things, now double-clicking my stacks won't launch my latest version (2.1.2) of Revolution. (Dragging them to the Rev icon or opening from Rev still works fine.) After the upgrade, they launched the 2.0 version I still had in the applications folder instead. I tried resaving a stack under the new version, but double-clicking that stack still launched the old version. So I put the old version in the trash and tried it again. This time I got an "unexpected error" dialog and no launch at all. Then I tried control-clicking a stack and choosing Revolution 2.1 from the Open With... menu; that worked, so I quit and tried double-clicking again. Now it wants to start up the OS9 environment and launch the "fat" version of 2.1!

I restarted the system hoping that would straighten things out. Well, now a few stacks have the normal Rev icon and do open 2.1 -- all of them are downloaded stacks. All the stacks I made and saved with 2.1 (and a few other downloaded stacks) now have the "fat" icon and they want to run MacOSFat version under Classic when double-clicked. Aaaaargh!!!

How many times have you found the answer right after posting the question? This is more than once for me... Anyway, the solution was to go to one of the stacks with the "fat" icon, do Get Info and change the Open With... selector to Revolution, and then click the Change All button. Even though the icons remained "fat", double-clicking now launches my old friend Rev 2.1 under OS X. After restarting, the icons resumed their normal appearance. Whew! Hope this saves someone else some grief...
