+%Docstring
+Singleton class that loads icons from the system theme if possible, falling
+back on Clementine's builtin icons otherwise.
+
+You can access the IconLoader directly, there is no need to create an instance
+of the class first.
+
+    >>> clementine.IconLoader.Load("media-pause")
+
+Icons are identified by their name without any extension, and they follow the
+U{Freedesktop icon naming specification<http://standards.freedesktop.org/icon-naming-spec/icon-naming-spec-latest.html#names>}.
+You can find the list of icons bundled with Clementine in the
+U{data/icons/<http://code.google.com/p/clementine-player/source/browse/#svn%2Ftrunk%2Fdata%2Ficons%2F22x22>}
+directory in Clementine's source tree.
