I'm not sure what you're asking here. You can set the icon like this (assuming 
'mainWindow' is the main window of your app, and a KMainWindow descendant):

icons = KIconLoader ()
mainWindow.setIcon (QPixmap (icons.loadIcon("stop", KIcon.Desktop)))

where "stop" is a icon's name ("stop" is the red circle with a white X in it).

Or (if your KApplication object is 'app'), you can get the QPixmap for the 
icon by doing:

iconPixmap = app.icon ()

iconPixmap will be a QPixmap corresponding to the icon.

Is there something different you want to do?
