Don't like it either. But "Display and Monitor" like it is used in system settings also doesn't fit in imho. Maybe "Configure Display" (to match the 'Configure Default Desktop' below)?

Well, that's the exact icon name systemsettings also uses - I think that icon never existed in that form. But if "-randr" doesn't exist, it will use preferences-desktop-display. (you know how the icon naming works, do you? :P)

It is easily adjustable in case kcm_randr gets replaced by the new kscreen-based one.
