Hi,

What does "octet IMachine::icon[]" actually do? The API docs are pretty
slim, such as what format it expects etc.

It's slim, because the API implementation is there and works, but there's no client yet which is able to handle the attribute.

The idea is that it's a PNG format icon with adequate resolution (using something big is blocked by the API, and would cause unnecessary settings file bloat, as the data ends up there in base64 encoding).

I would advise against using it for now, it's one of the preparations for supporting user-provided guest OS type information, but that feature is far from completion.
