Description Mark Capella 2025-10-06 17:11:00 UTC 
User widgets / plasmoids can contain a custom icon in their contents/ folder, by specifying in their metadata.json file an icon with a leading "/" such as:

   "Icon" : "/lightstrands.png",

and embedding the icon in their /contents folder.

However, this fails to display the icon properly when debugging the plasmoid in the plasmoidviewer app, & viewing the AboutPlugin.qml config page.

In the previous bug, we could assume a standard install directory, but here we'll need to consider the value of the "-a" applet parm.
