--- Comment #8 from Nate Graham <n...@kde.org> ---
Unfortunately sometimes window icons are worse, not better, which is a major
reason why historically we've used themed icons. Another is so that the icons
that appear in the Task manager match the icons for the app that appear
elsewhere. If we didn't do that, they wouldn't match anymore, and confuse
people.

That said, the icons already don't match up with the icons used in the Alt+Tab
Task Switchers, so we already confuse people. And your points are valid.

Perhaps we should rethink this for the non-icons-only task manager.
