I was talking about a supposed property called "circle", not a property
"themedIcon" with a value of "circle". The spec actually contains
language like this (quoting from memory, as the link to the draft on freedesktop.org
is dead):

"Tooltip: a descriptive string which the implementation will display as
a tooltip, or any other way it seems fit, or not at all"

Hint: if you don't want applications to assume a certain representation,
you don't use element names which imply a representation. So rather than
the example above, you should have used language like:

"Description: a string providing optional details about the item;
implementations are free to not use the information, so applications
MUST NOT rely on it"

But if you provide an element "OverlayIcon", it'd be better rendered as
overlayed icon and not as dancing penguins.
