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

[Kai Uwe Broulik]

Hi,

That bomb icon imho doesn't look very well in the titlebar and the app icon indeed is confusing. What about dialog-warning to emphasis even more that it will cause your changes do be lost? It's already in the dialog itself, however, but will make the window stick out in the taskbar.

Cheers,
Kai Uwe
