I've tried to do it in a not-much intrusive way.
This patch adds a setEffect() method to KIconLoader. If you want a custom 
effect to be applied to a set of icons, just create a KIconLoader and set its 
effect, and use this loader when loading icons.
Every time you change the effect, the cache of the iconloader is discarded, 
making sure the new effect is going to be applied to all requested icons.

Please review it and make suggestions/critics to this approach.

Thanks in advance
