Yeah, that conceptual problem - nothing guarantees that the widget is
located
on a panel, and picking the category based on containment constraints makes
things complex fast - is another reason why I haven't pursued a patch for
the
icon item ...

But I'm not keen on adding a widget-level config checkbox for this behavior
either
personally, so it's a dilemma.
