While I'm not so sure anymore if using the media-playlist-repeat icon 
for 'restart' (because it's a status icon, not an action icon like the other 
ones), I do believe that 'resume' should be the plain standard 'play' icon, 
for the following reasons:

- One icon less that needs to be drawn.
- Seriously, I think that it's pure hell to find an analogy that fits.
  What I'm saying is, the icon won't be intuitively recognized as Resume,
  because there is no good icon for this action other than 'play'.
- When 'resume' is displayed, 'execute' is not, so there are no two buttons
  with the same icon.
- The 'play' icon for the 'resume' action is also well-known from the
  audio/video/whatever-media playback world. Using well-known analogies
  is a good thing.

Please consider my reasoning.
I'm still unsure about 'restart', I'll be making my mind up about that one.

Good night,
