I am closing and rejecting this as not worth the bother and "ain't gonna 
happen" at things now stand.  

The 'IDLE icons' are not IDLE icons.  They are Python application icons which I 
adapted for IDLE.  The one on the Windows taskbar are set by the Windows 
installer.

The IDLE code could be copied into turtle (where it might stagnate if tk 
changes), but this would require making turtle a package.  Not worth it.
I don't consider using the tk icons that big a problem.  They work across 
platforms and the tk people will continue to make sure they do.  I would not be 
terribly surprised is some beginners think that the blue feature *is* a turtle 
logo ;-).

To use the IDLE code directly, it should be in a public interface module.  I am 
willing to create one within idlelib, but there would be opposition, so this is 
off the table for now.

I think there should be a utility module under tkinter, but Serhiy has shown no 
interest, and I am not going to divert my energy to pushing this at present.  
In any case, I think such a proposal should be a clean new issue.
