I seem to remember trying that myself and also didn't get very far.  I
also wanted to control the icon size, but couldn't get that one to work
either.

A function called 'icons_yeah'?  What was I smoking?

Apparently I haven't released some minor updates to that applet that I've
been sitting on for several months.  You can at least see them in my svn
repo via WebSVN here (http://www.hayber.us/WebSVN/), sorry I haven't set
up proper anonymous access to svn itself.
