You are of course correct. I was just thinking that we want to make as
much extendable as makes sense - however drawing the line between crack
and sense it the difficult part.

I believe that some interesting things could be done with extendable
icons, but the price may be to high.

We don't want to end up with something like gnome 1.x with regards to
configurability hell.
