[Bug 488460] [NEW] "Restart application" icon in Drkonqi is not idiomatic on Ubuntu

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

Please see screenshot here. Observe the "Restart Application" icon.
https://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=38582

This is what it looks like on a standard KDE install:
https://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=38579

The problem seems to be that KDE uses the freedesktop.org standard icon
name "system-reboot" for the restart application button, but on Ubuntu
and Gnome a different name is used. Ubuntu should probably change to
reflect the standard, or at least provide a symlink.

I originally filed this bug against KDE, and you may want to view the conversation here:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=203377

Dario Andres provided a succinct description fo the problem thus:
The "system-reboot" icon is a standard one:
http://standards.freedesktop.org/icon-naming-spec/icon-naming-spec-latest.html
"The icon used for the “Reboot” item in the desktop's panel application. "

However, it seems that the Gnome and Ubuntu icon themes do not contain it:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=contents&keywords=system-reboot&mode=filename&suite=karmic&arch=any

They implement their reboot icon with a different name:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=contents&keywords=reboot.png&mode=filename&suite=karmic&arch=any

So this seems to be a Gnome/Ubuntu related issue, about not honoring the
freedesktop.org standard icon naming scheme.......
