Depends on the backend, different GUIs load different icons.  Here is
what I get for the PNGs

In [1]: from matplotlib.image import imread

In [2]: X = imread('images/home.png')

In [3]: X.shape
Out[3]: (24, 24, 4)

and I think that will be consistent for all the raster based image
formats.  tkagg uses the ppm formats (you use tkagg, right?).
