As you only need the favicon for a host and never one for a specific HTML 
document (am I right? :) the easiest way would be locate("icon", 
QString("favicons/%1.png").arg(hostname));
Which will get you the favicon if one had been downloaded already. Hmm, if 
the host has one, but the user never went to a URL on that host, you'll get 
no icon of course.... but after the user first clicked on a headline on that 
host, the icon will be ther :)
Otherwise, you would have to duplicate the code from libkonq or link it. I 
don't think KonqFavIconMgr really belongs into kdelibs, but feel free to 
persuade me ;P
