[LON-CAPA-dev] Icons?

[Gerd Kortemeyer]

I was thinking of giving users a preference setting to replace the  
remote control buttons CSTR, PPRM, etc, with these icons, but leave  
the text next to it alone (or have the default be the icons).

The problem is that I sometimes published stuff (PUBL) instead of  
printing it (PRT) - go figure, both with "P" in the beginning - or I  
constantly go CUSR instead of CCRS ... stuff like that.
