that is done, but doesn't work :-( I don't know why, I will investigate
more tonight.

I haven't found a way to add icons to the GnomeAppbar widget, apart from
having to deal with the internal widgets and so on, which seems ugly.
So, I thought about the icon area and liked it. Another possibility I
thought was to replace the GnomeAppbar with a GtkStatusBar to which, if
I recall correctly, you can add any kind of widget.

no idea what is it about :-(
