Yes.  I believe it would make more sense to write a new view class  
using the icon generation/threading/caching.  Maybe a subclass, but  
not enough of the layout is exposed as an API to make that easy, and  
it would be like killing a gnat with a shotgun in some respects.  Have  
you looked at the code at all?

We may have an option of displaying it at the bottom in future, since  
I don't think that was ever settled.  So I see your point, but I'm not  
terribly enthusiastic about it for various reasons.
