Ok, I'll go via the CVS tree, and add appropriate documentation.

I wanted to add a separate Style label for this 'FixedIcons', but the
Style flags bitmask is full. I see others have come across the same
problem (i.e. tmpflags, new_flags), but really can't see how I can add a
new flag without major changes to the whole shebang.

As I also think that, symantically, having 'fixed' StickyIcons makes
sense, I chose to add use that flag.

Suggestions as to how to incorporate this new/modifed style are
welcome...

Regards,
