Comment (by axeld):
For the record, I do not like the boot manager icon either, but that's
solely based on the fact that it sticks out: It looks nice by itself, but
it doesn't fit well with the other ones, as it looks more fine grained,
and detailed.
Furthermore, since we use a rocket to indicate the volume that the system
booted from, I think it would be natural to make those two more
consistent, and use that as the basic idea for the BootManager, too.
In general, though, I don't think everyone has to understand the meaning
of a **every** icon. It just needs to be memorable (ie. not too complex),
and is differentiable from other icons; the things an icon stands for are
often too complex.
