Hi,
That bomb icon imho doesn't look very well in the titlebar and the app icon
indeed is confusing. What about dialog-warning to emphasis even more that it
will cause your changes do be lost? It's already in the dialog itself, however,
but will make the window stick out in the taskbar.

No, we don't. It may seem really silly and tiny (I completely agree, I don't
even understand why the icon is there - but as Martin said, every window has
an icon). But these are the things that add up. If we don
I suggest just using the same icon as used on the "Terminate Application
[foobar]" button. Terminating the application is the primary function of
that dialog and I struggle to identify the information value of using a
different visual metaphor for the window icon.
Hope that helps!

bomb, cashew - or ask nuno ;-)
the kwin icon looks dull and has no meaning to the user.
i don't like using the hung app icon - the icon shows up in the taskbar as
well and creates a wrong idea about the source of the dialog (it feels odd
that a process would detect that it does no more respond and
