[Sugar-devel] rethinking your icon customization patch

[Simon Schampijer]

This thread is about the technical solving of the issue, did we agree on 
making this change, really? I am not at all convinced.

What do people think about my proposal with adding a picture/drawing per 
kid that is part of the Palette then? We can see if we want to transfer 
this compressed to the other users to have that available in the 
neighborhood views. But we would have the same issue with the modified 
icon that is proposed here.
