And these will be the same as everywhere else (presence drop-down, presence plasmoid etc) so it should get the user some clue. The background icon can change significantly, although it's such a specific icon that I think it would stay mostly similar. That and plus the tooltip should work. At least before we get our own icon.

I've sent an email to kde-artists for their opinion few days ago and received no response as of now. Since the 0.2 release is very near, let's decide this ourselves. 

Do we ship it for 0.2 or not?

Since there is no good icon, I've "created" my own by taking the "view-sort-ascending" and painting two small overlays over it. See the screenshot.
