[Xerte] VideoIcon -> playheadTime

Because that's what it is. Now you're getting into the OO debate -
should we wrap the VideoDisplay class's methods / properties (there are
a lot), or should the icon itself inherit from VideoDisplay? If you
extend VideoDisplay I don't know if you can still do
addChild(myControls) to build the interface?

Mostly OO good practice says favour composition over inheritance.

In any case, it's a job for another day,
