Yes, currently ECB overrides `speedbar-expand-image-button-alist' with exactly
one image (this one which should be displayed) in a certain image buffer
because this is the only way i can display different images for equal
text-symbols in different buffers. Unfortunately
`speedbar-insert-image-button-maybe' does always using hard the value of
`speedbar-expand-image-button-alist'....

Yes, this would work...

This would be the best solution especially because nothing in sb-image.el is
really related to speedbar...IMHO!

AFAIK sb-image.el uses for both Emacs and XEmacs `add-text-properties' and
this function allows in both Emacsen adding properties to String-objects.
Therefore there should be no problem with XEmacs...
Or have i something misunderstood?
