[Zope-CMF] A little nit in my python based content type -can't get icon to render. SOLVED!!

[Jeffrey Franks]

Hi,

Yes!! Thanks for the help. It worked flawlessly and solved a number of
other problems I was about to run into regarding skin installation,
portal_type installation, and workflows.

I finally see some daylight on how to build my 1st python product. The
puzzle pieces are comming together, although I've got quite a way to
go before it really does something of value.
