[Bug 411760] [NEW] Quick Access uses the "up one directory" icon instead of "Home" icon

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

All throughout KDE the up arrow icon and the home icon are used for very
consistent things. Up arrow takes users one folder higher and the Home
icon takes users to their Home folder/location. You can see these work
the same way in Dolphin, Konqueror, Save dialogues and justr about
everywhere...

except the Quick Access plasmoid.

For some reason, instead of using the Home icon to return to your Home
location (which by default is your Home folder), it uses the up arrow.
Numerous times I've watched new users - 20 folders deep -  who want to
go up one directory in Quick Access, click on "Up" and wonder why they
just jumped back 20 directories. The Home icon, however is known to
virtually anyone who's ever used a web browser. They know it takes you
back to where you started.

Please replace the "Up" arrow icon, with the "Home" icon so the image
matches users expectations of what the icon does.
