Some icons I see require you to click on one of the non-background colours
in order for the click to be registered. Others accept a mouse press anywhere
in the rectangle they define, and when dragged their "background" colour
obscures the screen underneath.

What's different with these two sets of icons? Is it just a flag, something
in the planepick, or something different in the image data itself?
