I'm having trouble getting icons to display with GNTP, using the following code:

```python
#!/usr/bin/env python2.7

import gntp.notifier

growl = gntp.notifier.GrowlNotifier(
applicationName = "My Application Name",
notifications = ["New Updates","New Messages"],
defaultNotifications = ["New Messages"],
# hostname = "computer.example.com", # Defaults to localhost
# password = "abc123" # Defaults to a blank password
)
growl.register()

# Send one message
growl.notify(
noteType = "New Messages",
title = "You have a new message",
description = "A longer message description",
icon = "http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/89/Exquisite-khelpcenter.png",
sticky = False,
priority = 1,
)
```

I'm running Mac Lion, 10.7.2, with Growl 1.3.3 from the App Store. The notification pops up with correct title and description, but the generic orb with lines and dots image. I get the same error when I try to reference local icons, such as /Users/akerl/Downloads/Exquisite-khelpcenter.png.

Am I doing something wrong, or is there a setting I have to adjust to allow this module to specify an icon?
