 This refers to titles, not icons.  I, for one, think Webmin using
a GIF for each letter in the H1 title is really daft!  It makes
Webmin much slower, especially over HTTPS. (and we really want HTTPS)
Besides, the GIFs look worse than text marked up as <h1> in most
graphical browsers.  To text browsers they are just redundant fat.

 Does it disable all the icons?  Or just the GIF titles? 
If it is only the titles, it's a Good Thing.  Webmin's
default in that respect is a Bad Thing.
