I think we should do a study before trying to change Konqueror's icon. A lot
of the confusion with GNOME's icon involved it launching say Netscape with
an icon that didn't look like a Netscape icon so no one would have guessed that
that specific icon would launch Netscape. And the fact that it had a paper over
it also confused some people.

But they're two very different icons. Nautilus is just a house with "SOME-NAME's Home" as
its title, which sounds a lot like people's websites named in exactly the same way.
The Home in KDE says just 'Home' and it's not just an icon of a house. It's a large
folder with a house beside it, implying something having to do with files/folders. Perhaps
"Home Directory" might be more specific, though.
