ENV:sys/def_drawer.info contains the view and show modes for default
icons.  (This comes from ENVARC:sys/def_drawer.info at boot-time).
You can set anything you like for your default icon drawers by copying
the appropriate icon there, or my creating a drawer to match it,
then operating on the drawer using Workbench.

Someone could write a "Preferences" to edit it, if they wanted.
