Yes that's what I said a bit further. This result to have a more complicated
code if we think that this problem with big panel isn't acceptable (but who
really want big panel ?).

So what is the solution ? (I don't have personal opinion for this).
- keep this code and don't care of big panel problem
- Adapt plasma:square related code in the core of plasma and keep this code
in icon based plasmoid
- add a special constructor or method at Plasma:Icon as proposed by Aaron
(can this solution be adapted to deal with big panel issue ?)
- use a generic virtual class

Cheers,

Loic
