Three marks were put on a real panel and judged at the size the bar
actually draws them. A bell sat inches from Plasma's own notification
bell and meant something entirely different. A handset with an outgoing
arrow read as a telephone feature. Breeze has people and it has
telephones and the two never meet, so this is drawn in Breeze's language
instead: an adult, a child, and one small speech bubble, on Breeze's
22-unit grid with its ColorScheme-Text class, so it recolours with the
session and needs no second file for the light theme.
Quick Launch carries it. The Icon widget copies the entry into the user's
home so an update could never change it; a task manager reads the entry
live but also shows every running window, which filled the auxiliary
corner with the lesson's tasks.
One defect found on the way, and it affected the Wonder Ink icon that is
already shipping: gdk-pixbuf recognises an SVG by sniffing the first
bytes, and a licence-length comment above the opening tag pushes it out
of that window. Every GTK program reported "couldn't recognize the image
file format" while Qt rendered the same file happily. The comments live
inside <svg> now.

Two findings, both from watching the bar refuse to change.
The Icon widget copies the desktop entry into the user's home and uses
the copy. A classroom that had already run kept the old icon and the old
command for ever: the package no longer contained a bell and the bar kept
showing one. The button is a task manager holding a single launcher now,
which resolves /usr/share/applications live — the place an OTA update
writes to — and costs nothing, because the classroom already runs one for
the applications.
NoDisplay=true then hid the entry from the very index that resolves
launchers, and the bar drew a blank page. There is no application menu in
this classroom for the entry to clutter, so it is indexable now.
