To clarify, there are icons that fade onto the screen while you log in.
These cannot be clicked on in any way, it just shows the KDE progress of
loading your desktop. The icons that fade onto the background image are: a
Hard Drive, Wrench and Screwdriver, The Plasma Icon, A Globe, and the KDE
icon. After all the icons fade against the login background the image fades
to your desktop.
I'm not suggesting we change icons for computers or hard drives or
browsers, just the overall look of the login experience.
Sorry I should have been more thorough in my initial explanation. I
attached a screen shot so you can see what I'm talking about. It doesn't
have the plasma icon like the current build, instead it has a desktop icon.
