however, there is no API in KSvgRenderer we can use to retrieve such 
information.

if we request an API addition, we won't get it in time for kde 4.0 and i don't 
believe running the SVG through an additional xml parser is a useful 
approach. yes, having a "magic" element is a bit hackish, but it's the 
cleanest hack i can think of.

of course, i don't always think of the best possible idea, so if you have some 
code you could share to demonstrate a different approach, that'd be great =)
