Is it possible to know when a PlasmaCore IconItem is ready?

[Michail Vourlakos]

David, I had tried it some iterations before in my code path, it wasnt
as equally performant as the Images solution, I will give it one more
try...

I suppose you are proposing to drop Images, add a ShaderEffectSource
with live:false for DropShadow and the animation for hover to add it
in the PlasmaCore.IconItem right?

             PlasmaCore.IconItem {
                 id: iconImage
                 width: 2 * panel.iconSize - 8
                 height: 2 * panel.iconSize - 8

property int newTempSize: Math.floor(panel.iconSize *
wrapper.scale * wrapper.appearScale)
        width: newTempSize
        height: newTempSize
