Plasma Components Question

[Lasath Fernando]

Hey,

I've been using Plasma Components 4.8 for a new plasmoid in
telepathy-kde, and I have a question regarding the Button (or
ToolButton) component.
>From what I've seen so far, it only has a property to set the source
for the icon.
I need a way to set the icon directly as a (Q|K)Icon, as the only way
to get the icon for a user's current presence is through the
KTp::Presence::icon() method, which returns a KIcon.
So far, I've been using a workaround to get icon sources that causes a
lot of ugly and duplicate code in our libraries, and have been told to
find a way to avoid.

So, is there something I'm missing?
