Ah, that makes sense; sorry I didn't think of looking at the history of
the other icons, I would probably have made a simpler report focusing on
the solution that Stefan pushed today, instead of babbling about adding
features to the widget code.

FWIW, I think your comment reinforces the idea that Stefan's fix belongs
on the release branch, but I understand that we all want 28.1 out the
door already, so 🤷

Thank you all for your help.
