IMO these Amarok::icon() calls are useful, as they allow for establishing a 
mapping between an icon name describing its purpose and the actual icon being 
used. This way it's easy to remap icons consistently, you can distinguish 
cases where the same icon has been used for different purposes, and you don't 
need code with overly long icon names in it. So I vote for introducing more 
of them instead of getting rid of them.
