Revised observations:
Make ICON 1000: app shows BW icon
Make cicn 1000: app shows BW icon
Delete ICON 1000: app shows multibit icon
Make ICON 1000: app shows multibit icon
It may be that it doesn't have a preference, but merely
takes the first ICON -or- cicn w/ the proper ID. Therefore
the order they appear in the application makes a difference.
If somebody can confirm this, I would appreciate it -- I've
got a headache right now and may have slipped up in the
procedure.
If this -is- confirmed, I would suggest that this "first
available" behavior is not proper, and that the cicn should
be taken if present, and the ICON if not.
