if you put your icon in a layout, this shouldn't be necessary:

QGraphicsLineartLayout *layout = new QGraphicsLineartLayout(this);
layout->setContentsMargins(0,0,0,0);
layout->setSpacing(0);
layout->addItem(m_icon);

looking at your screenshot, i can see  what you are trying to do (make all the 
icons similar/the same size) but this isn't the approach to take as it doesn't 
follow

then it really isn't square, is it? =)

in the case of the icons, we probably don't actually want to be using 
Plasma::Square, but just set the size policy to be minimum for the growth 
direction (horizontally on horizontal panels, vertically on vertical panels)
