The patch itself is fine and most likely does not introduce regressions in terms of misbehavior.

Still, is never showing an icon the way to go? Another way to work around this by default would be an additional function called KMessageWidget::setShowIcon(bool).

In fact, I've recently been thinking that being able to set custom icons also may be a good idea, along with setting a custom color for the message widget. Maybe one could ex extend MessageType, i.e.: setMessageType(Custom). Along with setIcon() and setPalette() or similar. Then, the developer would have more control over the colors showing up in the Kate views. A disadvantage of this is, however, that this leads to inconsistent ui's.

It this is needed, this patch works against this, though.
