That kind of depends on what we want to allow apps to do - do we want
them to be able to animate their icon?
It does open an attack vector when apps can start impersonating another
and steal credentials, for example.
A static icon has the advantage of being visible on the store - and it
will always be the same on your device.

Bug description:
Add support for apps supplying their icons at run-time.
X apps (and thus GTK apps) like to provide their app icons at run-
time. We don't yet have the infrastructure to support this. But you
can see the bitmaps by just running 'xprop' and clicking on a window.
