How about an gtk_window_add_icon() API, which just appends an extra Pixbuf
to the list of icons for the window?  That way an app that just wants a
normal icon for their window adds a single icon.  For apps that want a
mini icon, they can just call the function again with a different size
icon.

For platforms where only one icon is used, it can just ignore subsequent
calls to add_icon().
