Hi Marco, 

With the new changes to Plasma::Icon one can now set a custom SVG image (using 
Plasma::Widget::Icon::setSvg() ) for the icon itself, does this patch allow 
for resizing based on the size of the SVG (when it has one element in it)?

Right now, I cannot resize the actual icon, it compacts the svg image to fit 
the some default size.

Aaron, do we need another overloaded method for setSvg to also allow for 
selecting a specific element within a SVG file?

Thanks, 
Shawn.
