D17921: Show Desktop Toolbox Icon/Svg next to checkbox in the config

[Chris Holland]

  That still requires the user to drag a button, which isn't exactly obvious or a normal behaviour, just to discover what it is. It doesn't look like a desktop widget, not that the user would recognize it as one, as KDE by default does not display any desktop widgets the user can compare it with.
  
  The name "Desktop Toolbox" doesn't really describe it properly either. It's a button that opens a context menu. "Toolbox" usually refers to GIMP's "tool selection panel" where you have several buttons in a grid. The Panel has a "toolbox" to adjust the height of the panel.
  
  An alternative solution would be to put a heading in the context menu.
  
  Here's a quick mockup by editing `/usr/share/plasma/packages/org.kde.desktoptoolbox/contents/ui/` by treating `modelData.enabled = false` as a "heading".

  Here's another mockup using `PlasmaExtras.Heading` instead.
