I have not had time to test the new code, but it sounds very promising.
If the icon determination code is placed into a separate object file, it
will make coordination with the xffm panel-toolbar easier (all changes
will automatically show up in xffm). 

I have not yet had time to see whether the new code is in a separate
object/library file that xffm can link with either statically,
dynamically, or as a module. If not, I'll try to work on a patch for
that, if that is ok with you ;-)
