The only way I've been able to do it is a collosal pain in the ass
using the Icon editor.

First load the bitmap.
Save the palate with some arbitrary name.
Copy the image to the clip board.
From the file meny create a new icon.
Go to the devices menu and add the appropriate type (I forgot the
name)
Load the previously saved palate.
Paste the image.

You might have to transpose the last two steps.
