Agreed the icon is not good

Which one is your suggested replacement? the 'M' Icon? Personally I
think its bad to use icons with letters on icons - I've been gradually
doing away with them in QGIS UI. People who use chinese etc
charactersets will get no meaning from letters. My preference would be
for something like the icon used in kde4 console (attached).

Best regards

Tim
