Its a typo. I'll make a note to fix it in version 1.1, if a real need
for 1.1 arises. The "=" isn't necessary, "80x200-1-1" will do.

Sorry, obviously you need the IconGravity? patch. In 1.1, I'll try to
make it clearer. The IconGrid only affects the 1 preceeding IconBox
(as you found).

I too want to fill my primary IconBox from the bottom up, so I guess
its just a matter of time before I get around to it. If someone else
wants to jump in on this, let me know, and I'll do something else
during my evenings and weekends. I really would like to unravel the
focus code.
