Here's another example defending the need for flexibility:

The icons in ark for non-standard actions like Add File, Add Directory,
Extract and Delete all use pictures of safes for indicating the action.
If I use the standard icons for Open and New, the iconography is
all wrong. So for those KStdActions I use icons with safes rather
than icons with the folder/paper motif.

"motif" on this list.
