You can specify an icon in one of the overloaded constructors, I belive.
I'd tell you which one, but I can't get into developer.kde.org right
now...
Alternatively, if you're willing to use XML GUI, you can use the
<ActionProperties> tag - <Action name="" icon=""> under that will set a
specific icon for an action.
