This is how I thought of it - but I was more hoping to pass the icons over
to an icon manager to handle... a seperate process, currently.... Any
brainwaves? :)
Looks like it's time to investigate IPC or rewrite the window manager so it
is part of the icon manager (which is already part of the desktop manager)
....
