setText(const QString &text, KInformationLabel::Icon icon) should be two 
separate methods, no? setText and setIcon? would it also be possible to reuse 
another enum already in kdelibs, such as KMessageBox::DialogType? 

perhaps even support setting the icon by name in addition to "standard" types 
so it isn't limited to just the icons supported but the class, though the 
enum is good for consistency.

the constructor needs to be labaled "explicit".

a widget like this would be really nice, in any case, for use in kmessagebox 
and other such places, as you noted.
