Squeak already does this with window icons, etc. It's not new. As a matter of fact, the whole reason I did this was to get those very same awful blobs the hell out of my image without sacrificing their utility. 

It's a total strawman, but it works. That's all I'll say for now, but there will be a tad more news about it soon, so stay tuned;)

Thanks again for all of your replies everyone! The chronological integrity of my world is unbroken now, even if I've done something rather rude and hackish to my object system:)
