	Yes, this is what should be done, however the current KGIcon system 
is not very well able to handle this without quite some recoding as it is 
not designed to have to consider more than one device context at once.  
The new KGI 0.9 is so much better designed in this regard that I decided 
to port KGIcon to KGI 0.9.  I got most of the code written a while back, 
but then I ran out of time and it has been on the shelf for a while now.  
I still have the latest KGIcon-0.9alpha3 release that I made if you want 
to play with it.
