Yes, thats how I initially coded it. Later on we moved to the list
widget, dont remember why. If we're going to use an fm style control
panel (a la Winblows), we need to either use fm's icon placement code
(how's that doing?) or create some sort of virtual folder thingy for
fm where we can specify what icons do? (ie, not simply launch the
associated app). Perhaps we could have some special internal mime type
that we can use? If we have an icon-view (generic) in E17, we can
simply move from a list implementation to an icon-view (or provide
both even) with minimal changes.
