Agree completely, but that was just an idea. Why I added 'white KDE'ish 
diamond'?
Because default application icons used in Koshell have diferent shapes 
and while they look nice sitting randomly somwhere on the desktop IMHO 
they don't look nice in Koshell stripe (sidebar). Therefor I wanted to 
create a little order in Koshell sidebar.
I know that in some of icons which I put on a 'diamond' have too many 
elements, but I haven't had time to clean them up (just wanted to come 
up with a basic 'design' ;-)
We can also choose different shapes...

I'll try first with 32x32 size, and choose just one element which is 
characteristic for Koshell applications. It's much easier with 48 & 64 
icons, of course.
