No, at the moment Qt terminal uses
    setWindowIcon(QIcon(":/images/gnuplot"));
which takes the icon
    src/qtterminal/images/icon32x32.xpm
based on information
    <file alias="images/gnuplot">images/icon32x32.xpm</file>
from
    src/qtterminal/QtGnuplotResource.qrc

I think that simply replacing xpm file with svg file either in
QtGnuplotResource.qrc or in source code should work (but I'm currently
unable to compile Qt terminal to be able to test). Assuming that you
are happy with the SVG image of course.
