addIcon issue

[Mike Kerner]

reading through the library, it appears that you are correct - you cannot
add to the default family.
changing the family using setCurrentIconFamily("custom") does cause the
picker to show those icons. if i want to select one for assignment to a
widget, is that the only way to do it? entering custom/test does not seem
to work. instead i have to set the family and then choose the icon
