Given the arrow is clear (make it larger and maybe just a
tailed triangle pointing up or down ?) I am fine with this.

Alternatively use the standard US post box icon for INBOX.

Done.

gmPlugin.py now passes an opaque parameter to
<aPlugin>.GetIconData() wherefrom GetIconData() decides which
icon to return. How to actually _get_ the icon data is up to
the plugin. The easiest case would be to just return them from
a dict with the passed in argument as a key. See
gmReferrals.py for a better example. A plugin could also
choose to ignore the parameter and just always return the same
icon. Plugins that want nothing to do with all that crap can
just override GetIcon() alltogether.

Oh, and currently the argument passed is always "None" pending
configuration implemention. A decent configuration manager
would then need a way to retrieve all icons from a plugin with
their respective keys in order to let the user choose one and
store the key for later use.
