Or "Create new folder icon" since the user isn't able to understand that 
symbols are only symbols...

And why konqueror or internet-related icons are a globe? We can change 
"internet" to "globe connection".
Kmix icon is a speaker... so "mixer" -> "speaker control"
or linux icon is a penguin so "linux" -> "penguin OS"
it is so strange that the standard symbol for directory is a folder?
