Blah! Select? Double-click? Waaaah I'm going insane :-S
Does anybody even use iconlist-in-appmgr other than me? It's not even in
the latest 0.7-pre from pb! I never really expected it to be used
outside of appmgr & gpe-fm, I'm glad people have found uses for it.
(Even if they do end up re-writing all of my horrible code, hehe ;-)

... and the current add functions could just be wrappers? Sounds OK, if
a little more complex than appmgr needs ;-)

This would make the iconlist itself almost like the 'vhbox' or whatever
it's called that GIMP uses for it's toolbox. It's really a shame GTK2
doesn't have a GtkCanvas, or we could just use GnomeIconList...

Really, that's what the transperency should be for. I just used it for
'selected' cos it was simple... it never got changed cos it looks kinda
neat :)

What sort of formula should be applied to make it "selected"? Increasing
the saturation? Darkening? Blue-ifying? (Or whatever colour).

I've gotten a little further getting GPE to build on OSX. (Damn them for not
using 'gcc -shared' to generate dynamic libraries!!). Once I get it happyish I
might find some time to contribute. (But not at Uni, because that time is for
study... yes... hmm... :-)

Actually, I just started doing "Interactive Computer Graphics" at Uni,
and iconlist has given me a leg-up on some of the zany-ness. (eg. with
font handling). PS. Java2D is *nice* :-)
