Hi Einav,
exactly. VMs inherit icons form Templates and their icons can be later edited. I've
added some info regarding icon inheritance and pool on wiki.

Thanks, Jakub,
so regardless of VM pools: I understand that a VM will inherit the icon
from the Template it is based on by default, with an option to override
it, obviously (within the New/Edit VM dialog)?
(haven't noticed anything about it in the wiki page)
