it's not quite that simple, since you have the option of putting
a cute graphic next to that software component, and this is where,
i believe, you get into wanting to run "buildinstall" to add a
new pixmap to the pixmap directory where python can find it once
the loader starts to run.
it may be that the default is just to have a blank graphic, but
you can see that just adding a new software component adds a
new level of complexity.
