Not at the moment. In fact, you can't even have mount points on the
iconbar at the moment. The whole panel thing should probably be changed so
that it acts like the pinboard - ie, stored in a config file rather than
as a directory. Then you'd also be able to set up a site-wide default
panel :-)

Do we need icons for all directories or just mount points? If the latter,
we can just search for icons called 'mounted_floppy.xpm' and
'unmounted_floppy.xpm' in Choices, where 'floppy' is the leafname of the
mount point. The other option is to (finally!) implement the pattern-
matching-on-directories feature. Could be a bit slow, though...

What would people prefer?
