Actually looking at previous spec versions (which can be found on
http://www.galago-project.org/specs/notification/), there seemed to be
an "icon_data" hint in 0.9, but not "icon_path", so I can guess that's
where these came from.

Mentioned specs seem to be fairly obsolete now, and even if they
should be supported, there doesn't seem to be any excuse to pass
"icon_path".
