Hi Eugene,

Please snip quoted text that you're not replying to specifically. In
particular, there's no need to quote the entire message including the
request to Luke to not quote excessively in order to add a comment about
another specific icon.

Are you suggesting to change KNewsTicker's icon to the newspaper? Or just
that KNode's icon isn't very representative? Don't forget that the most
important thing about an icon is that it is _identifiable_ (and possibly
intuitively represents what the file/application/object is/does), so going
around changing icons on existing apps is something that should not be
done lightly.

Use a different icon theme if you will, assuming any of the
non-crystal/fallback hicolor ones are complete.
