Icon id conflicts?

[J. Landman Gay]

Did you try using the full path to the image when setting the icon by name 
in the message box?

What I've done in the past is adding 20 or 50 in front of the image ID 
which makes it a number in the thousands, so icon 1243 becomes 501243. That 
allows you to use the inspector, though everything created after that will 
have IDs in the 50 thousands.
