OK that's a useful example.  I have to say I've never used the gRevAppIcon
thing, and I've usually customized the MC answer dialog in the rare cases
I've used it in a project.

Anywhere else?

(Seriously, I can't recall anywhere I've seen icons in dialogs on OSX except
maybe in a few shareware apps that rolled their own custom displays.  The
empty trash example is good but again, it's not something I've ever used :-)
