I guess not but I don't quite understand all the magic going on behind the 
scene.

I just tried your suggestion but the Plasmoid then gets instantiated as an 
Applet and not a PopupApplet and it doesn't have access to setPopupIcon etc.

If I use ServiceTypes=Plasma/PopupApplet I have access to these methods but 
the icon widget doesn't respond to click events.
