Buttons without text are inherently ambiguous unless their icons are //perfect// (and even a broom icon doesn't quite get there IMHO, though it's better). I know designers hate excessive text, but users appreciate the clarity and obviousness of buttons with text.
  
  
  I'm willing to nod off (even though there I have no say in it there) a patch which adds it to all places  ( e.g. the klipper I linked) if reasonably sure that it works across languages  (so we don't have half of text in some languages, which is arguably worse than no text at all), but I'd like to give a clear, recognizable icon a try first.
  
  We have lots of other icons in plasmoids  (close notifications, mute, copy, menu, ...) that work well without text, some of them also destructive actions, so I'd like to give that a try first for the sake of space and not-clutterednes.
  
  I will comment on the clear-all bug and hope that something great comes out of this, then we can re-evaluate this one here :)
