The IDLWAVE icons appear whenever a shell session is running, not  
just when debugging, since they can be used to set and modify  
breakpoints, compile the file, examine variables, etc.  Appending to  
the existing icon set is intentional, since the user can still do all  
the normal editing things.  A better solution than appending, which  
isn't yet possible, is to place the IDLWAVE icons on a separate row  
of the toolbar.
