It would be nice if WebRunner could use the web site's favicon if no icon has been specified in the ini file rather than showing the WebRunner planet icon.

Attachment: WIP, full patch of all my changes so far including preliminary favicon support

This patch includes the code for bugs 400179 and 408362. I haven't posted the latter yet since I want to test on Windows first. Currently includes support for Windows and Mac, tested only on Mac.

Currently I download the favicon to the profile directory, which is kind of a hack, and then check whether it is there when the user clicks OK to create the app/shortcut. So if they click before the icon is downloaded they will get the default app icon. I'll figure out a way to hold the icon in memory so it doesn't have to be written to disk. The UI should take care of showing the user that the icon is loading and displaying it once it is loaded so they can decide if they want it or some other icon.

Attachment: Latest WIP

This is tested and works on Mac and Windows. It's ready for review. Unfortunately it's beyond my abilities to make a proper patch until bug 408362 is committed. In the meantime, here's the latest WIP. As soon as we get consensus on 408362 and get it checked in I'll make a proper patch.

Attachment: Fixes build issues on win32,, add supports for 256x256 and 512x512 icons

I haven't tested the 512x512 and 256x256 icon support since this is only for Leopard and I have Tiger.
