But then again - this icon is being changed for the third time in 5 releases. 
By the time me and all our users got this association into mine/their minds, 
there comes the need to reassociate. This time with a window. Which I still 
think makes no sense. Especially since the config dialog is very likely /not/ 
going to look like this on Plasma Mobile. Hence the generic/symbolic 
representation of the action seems better fit rather than a /literal/ 
representation of the window.
