I pushed a patch with the new emblem code. Note that there are a few corner
cases: some icons do weird things vis-a-vis their scaling and so the overlay
doesn't always get framed properly, resulting in the overlay being partially
off the screen. I noticed this specifically when cloning some of the
activities from mulawa. I'll revisit my algorithm for positioning but I am
hoping the patch can land as is, as it seems to work well with icons that
are 55x55.

regards.
