Plasma Components Question

[Lasath Fernando]

That's not quite what I'm after. I need to be able to set the icon of
the button itself. For example, the JavaScript API's PushButton had a
property called icon of type QIcon.

I was hoping there's a would be a way to do the same using the proper
Components.
