Double Icons in LaunchPad...?

Does anyone else have double icons in their LaunchPad? If you look in the picture, I have two iCals, two iTunes, two chess, etc. Only one of them works. The other always closes with an error message. Is there a way to fix it manually, or do I have to wait for an update from Apple?

I believe I have found the solution to this problem on my computer. I used to create Alias's of all the applications I used regularly and kept a folder of these Alias's in the Dock so that I could quickly open them. It is these Alias's that are showing up as duplicate icons in Launchpad. When I trashed these Alias's the duplicates went away.


Hope this works for everyone! Good luck.
