I think it could be a very good idea.

And also my (untouched for weeks) kquickaccessbar :)

What about adding a function (no need for a whole class) that accepts a file
path and returns the icon that should be used (if the file is a .kdelnk, then
reading the icon from it, and if not, looking for the mimetype icon)

Somebody interested in implementing it ? (If nobody does, I will have to
implement it myself as I will need it, but most probably after mid-December)

Greetings,
