Ok, so we need to keep Restart. How about that one:

- The Debugging toolbar stays like it is, only that Start (proper name:
  "Execute in debug mode") changes to Interrupt when the program is started,
  and to Resume when the program is interrupted.

Which would mean that we need a Restart icon indeed.

Completely unrelated to the icon issue:
I would very much welcome it if the Build toolbar's "Execute main program" and 
the Debugger toolbar's "Runs the program in the debugger" get merged into one 
button for KDevelop 4, maybe with an arrow that reveals "Execute" and
"Execute in debug mode", the latter one being the default.
