Pre 0.9 one was able to do the following in the install.js to add icons for
extension created windows.
var iconfolder = getFolder(getFolder("chrome", "icons"), "default");
  addFile(name, "quicknote-main.ico", iconfolder, "");
  addFile(name, "quicknote-main.xpm", iconfolder, ""); 

The new API currently doesn't allow this.

Reproducible: Always

Not going to make the .9 train as it requires widget API changes, use the
workaround I described for now, will block 1.0.
