I just really question the value of an undifferentiated list - if we
have semantically distinct icons, should be multiple functions:

 set_icon() 
 set_mini_icon()
 set_accessible_icon()

or whatever. But it would be nice to set the mini icon automatically
from the regular icon if it isn't explicitly set, and I'm not clear
exactly how many kinds of accessible icon there might be (big?
contrasty? no idea).

If the icon's set from a theme, then there's the additional issue of
keeping around the stock ID and resetting the icon hint on theme
switch.
