[kepler-dev] svg for my actor

[Chad Berkley]

Umm, it should work.  You just need to assign an LSID (using the 
entityId property) to the composite, then use the 
uiSVNIconMappingsByLSID.properties file.  I've never tried it though, so 
I won't say that it will actually work.  I'm also not sure what priority 
the renderer uses.  That would be important since the class for the 
composite will already have an icon assigned to it in the other file, so 
hopefully the LSID one will take priority and override the class one.
