While browsing through the code (qquickdrag.cpp) i found these two
commented lines:
    // TODO: how to handle drag image?
    // drag->setPixmap(iconPixmap);

Along with that no more function for "setPixmap" that is exposed to QML.
That makes me fear that the setPixmap property is not there anymore.

Odd, since it would be an API break which i can't really imagine from Qt.

I hope someone else more knowledgeable in this area can chime in?
