I guess there's no reason why we couldn't put icons on tabs too, they'd
just have to be a bit smaller :)  

This is probably more for the Evo list and Anna than to discuss here,
but I have a couple of issues with the new Evolution style of
preferences dialog, as it's currently implemented there:

- Without resizing the dialog, you can only see about 5 categories at
once, which means you have to scroll to see the rest.  This makes the
dialog feel much more complex than it really is.

- It's not clear before you click on it whether the icon caption belongs
to the icon above or below it; the spacing needs to make this clearer--
but by increasing the spacing you can see even fewer categories at once
:)

Cheeri,
Calum.
