No but we can let the user choose an icon, and save it in the XML file using
<ActionProperties><Action name="bar" icon="joe"/></ActionProperties>

Anyone up for some kedittoolbar hacking?

It used to do that, I removed that check because it prevented e.g.
adding the location label or combo in Konqueror. Those actions don't
have icons, but they don't need one either. The test is actually a bit
more precise, it already skips plain KActions that have no icon,
but shows KAction-derived actions that have an icon. See the
isA("KAction") test in kedittoolbar.cpp:648.

Anyway the real fix is to implement "letting the user choose an icon".
I can see you volunteering from here ;)
