-/**
- * katze_net_load_icon:
- * @net: a #KatzeNet
- * @uri: an URI string, or %NULL
- * @icon_cb: function to call upon completion
- * @widget: a related #GtkWidget, or %NULL
- * @user_data: data to pass to the callback
- *
- * Requests a transfer of an icon for @uri. This is
- * implemented by looking for a favicon.ico, an
- * image according to the file type or even a
- * generated icon. The provided icon is intended
- * for user interfaces and not guaranteed to be
- * the same over multiple requests, plus it may
- * be scaled to fit the menu icon size.
- *
- * Pass a valid #GtkWidget to @widget if you want
- * a themed default icon in case of a missing icon,
- * otherwise %NULL will be returned in that case.
- *
- * The caller is expected to use the returned icon
- * and update it if @icon_cb is called.
- *
- * Depending on whether the icon was previously
- * cached or @uri is a local resource, the returned
- * icon may already be the final one.
- *
- * Note that both the returned #GdkPixbuf and the
- * icon passed to @icon_cb are newly allocated and
- * the caller owns the reference.
- *
- * Since 0.1.2 @widget can be %NULL.
- *
- * Return value: a #GdkPixbuf, or %NULL
