Ok, this is a bit unrelated, but should be covered. The solution can
be something of the following:
1. KIdenticonGenerator becomes Plasma::IdenticonGenerator (in
libplasma - it needs Plasma::Svg so it can't go anywhere else)
2. We start saving the icons somewhere. Problem with this one is that
we need to save a couple different states...

Yes, this is just so that they could use the ones that look like
bubbles :) (yes, Nuno loves bubbles ;) )

Yes, I agree, but a set of common ones would be good IMO.

Cheerio!
