	Yes, but IMHO this is OK for KGIcon (which is currently
Linux-specific anyway) to use until KGI/KGIcon 0.9 is up and running.  KGI
0.9 has a 'system' driver which can abstract the OS and I/O interfaces
properly, which is what should be used.  Although, it might not be so 
hard to hack the system driver into KGIcon as it stands right now.  Hm....
