[Koha] Help with item types in OPAC display

There are actually two different things being discussed here. Item
types can have icons associated with them via the Item Types
administration screen, but those are free-form categories for the
library to determine.

The icons associated with material type are displayed if you have the
XSLT display options enabled (XSLTDetailsDisplay and
XSLTResultsDisplay). The icons are defined in the XSL files themselves
(opac-tmpl/prog/en/xslt, for example), so without editing those files
you don't have any flexibility about which icons are displayed beyond
your ability to define whether the title is a Book, Music, Computer
File, etc.

I hope someone who is more of a MARC expert can chime in if I got that wrong.
