Or maybe add a as an resource a XML file called let's say "md-gui-icons.xml"
where we can associate widgets with an icon. Something like
<Icons>
    <WidgetIcon widget-class="HollyWidgets.HLabel" widget-resource-icon
="hlabel.jpg" />
    ...
</Icons>
I'm thinking at those guys who don't want to include System.Drawing on their
projects.
