What Mac OS X (leopard) application can I use to create favicon.ico -like ico files?
Note: This is not to create widget icons or the like, but the (e.g. 16x16 pixel) files that appear on a web browser's tab and alongside a bookmark...

I'm pretty sure all modern browsers will support the use of GIF images instead of actual ICO files.
Alternatively there are a lot of websites that will convert multiple formats to ICO files for you, just Google for "favicon". Here's one I found: http://tools.dynamicdrive.com/favicon/

If you have Photoshop there is a small plugin which lets you save as... .ico from Photoshop.

If you want to use an application to make .ico's, GraphicConverter will do that and just about anything else you might need in the bit graphics arena; it's been the low-cost alternative to Photoshop on OS X for years.

save your image with equal width and height in photoshop, then resize the image in photoshop down to 16x16 pixels, then save as to png, then install and run png2ico (a command line utility; png2ico, download it and build from source on windows or *nix) on it

The only problem with png2ico is that it doesn't support alpha channels.

The GIMP is a free (GPL) image-editing program that allows you to save images in .ico format, among others.
