ah, yes. Thanks for the making it clear since it was also not my intention to 
say that it's a good idea at all. Just that it's technical possible like it 
would be possible to go with e.g. 48x48. So, 16x16 is just the technical 
min-size (without doing some scaling at plasma side), if it actually makes 
sense to use it is written down somewhere else :)
