I really found the star alone ugly, I find ugly the icon it self and I 
think is really bad idea using it, since this same crystal icon is used 
for kpanel "services" and for "bookmarks" in the kde icon theme.

My idea of the star was to make it look like a paperweight (I've used 
the star beacause I read about using a star).
I know it is not a  summary metaphor but for me a paperweight on papers 
first remembers me an office application, second remember something 
where I keep organized everything, and this is what effectly the Summary 
does. I don't know if I've suffiently expressed the idea.

I think the paperweight is a good idea but maybe I can keep out the star 
and put something else to act as "paperweight".
What do you think?
