Ah, forgot about the imagery being SVG instead of good ol' bitmap.

I don't know how this works in KDE exactly, but how about the windowmanager 
that calls krunner to minimize (taskbar>krunner>rightmenu> minimize). That's 
going to work too? Not that there, indeed, is any use case for minimizing 
when we have escape & alt+f2.
