Well after a second thought, I think its a better idea to use plasma components for consistency over plasma rather than maintaining consistency with previous versions. but the original button for some reason looks *really* better in visual terms to me (in fact, the button is also used in some other plasmoids including the network manager). so...

to plasma components dev: can we have an option in the button of what background svg is used? may be a switch between the current one and the one in this plasmoid (widgets/viewitem)?

if that may take time to come up, or is not desired, we can have this patch shipped right in!
