Introducing Gtk.Image here would most likely add the benefit of third-party plugs installing their custom icons correctly. As of yet, Switchboard doesn't recognize icons installed to /usr/share/icons/hicolor (which is the proper location for custom icons) and third-party plugs have to install to /usr/share/icons/elementary. Which they really shouldn't because they're not part of the elementary-icons package.
Is this worth an additional bug attached to Switchboard?
