As I was drawing the icons, it didn't seem appropriate to draw the glass
in the same way for all the icons. e.g. I don't think it would be
appropriate to have a small glass for winetest - it wouldn't look good
with the tickbox. It's debatable for notepad, and wordpad; these are
more of a product of the tango icons I originally inherited from Ubuntu
Studio.

16-bit works fine - X renders the icons in true color then downsamples.
greyscale/monochrome will be similar, not that the end result would be
pretty. A more realistic case is 8-bit, and the only way I can think to
set that up is with ssh+X11 in cygwin in a WinXP VM with the screen
depth set to 8-bit, but wine doesn't even start in this case due to
missing extensions, so I assume it's not supported.
