So you think it's the distribution job to rename some core apps when
they try to package as best as the can a fully integrated KDE desktop.

A default Kubuntu distrib (for example) will never provide Nautilus as
a second choice file manager, and when a user will open its home
folder, Dolphin will display it, so Dolphin will be the current "File
Manager" of the user's system.

Of course, Konqueror will be still available, but it will be the file
manager of the system, only if the user defines it in default apps
like the mail manager, the web browser and so on.

And I don't think an icon will define alone the goal of an
application, it could only be an helper in a task bar or a title bar,
nothing else.
