The icon stuff should integrate with the new MIME handling. I'd suggest to 
have a QtCore QBasicFileSystemModel that doesn't return icons at all, and a 
subclass QFileSystemModel, that is part of the MIME handling module 
(obsoleting QFileIconProvider). That would give near source compatibility 
(just need to add a new module in the .pro file).
