[RFC] Which icon to use for kwin's killer helper

Hi all,

I'm currently considering whether we should change the window icon used in 
KWin's killer helper (the dialog which gets shown when trying to close a hung 
window).

Attached are three variants.
1. killer-current.png: that's the current state using the kwin icon. This icon 
is nowhere else used
2. killer-edit-bomb.png: this uses the same icon as on the button which will 
kill the window
3. killer-window-icon.png: this tries to get the icon from the hung window and 
uses it

Variant 3 would create a stronger connection between the hung window and the 
killer. But it might also look like it's coming from the window and not from 
the system.

So what do you all think and recommend.

Cheers
Martin
