Also, icons would work when having only a limited number of custom insets available --- but if using various modules the list becomes as populated as the Styles, then icons might ultimately prove more cumbersome. As for the availability of icons, if no icon is present (i.e. homebrewed module) then presumably the text will be used alternatively, and currently some custom insets have very verbose names so screen real estate will be an issue. Personally I like the idea of making custom insets be UI-wise as similarly as possible to the Style combobox, since the two perform conceptually similar functions (at least from the perspective of the end user).
