Well.. I returns a QPixmap and AFAIK you need a QIconSet to have a set of 
different icons depending on the state. But I'm not sure what method is 
recommended there.

I personally always use the global functions from kiconloader.h:

QIconSet *is = SmallIcon( "name-of_icon_file" );

But I'm not at all sure that is the best way. It seems to work though.
