Agreed with Jake. If ICNS files support doesn't require platform API calls, let's simply add it and give the user an options. That's quite the same as ICO files support: are they common/required on Linux? - No. Are they supported? - Yes, optionally.
And since we're in Open Governance area, maybe KDE project could contribute [some of] their image plugins to qtimageformats add-on, too.
