Hrrm ... well now I'm confused. I have a folder view, and an icon it it
that started its life via "Link to Application". The
corresponding .desktop is executable, but when I now modify it to change
the icon I don't get the exclamation mark -- in fact, I get no change
until I hit F5.

But, aside from all this hackery, my main question is really whether
there is a dedicated API via dbus or some such for managing icon
overlays. :)
