The icon files have to be somewhere, regardless the inset we use. If you really want to use graphics embedded inside the executable, you would have to change InsetGraphics so that it can refer icons from lyx executable, and extract these icons during latex export; or let InsetInfo extract these icons, and use InsetGraphics to show them. Both methods are complicated so I prefer to keep distributing our icons as the way it is now. Bo
