Bug Description
All throughout KDE the up arrow icon and the home icon are used for very consistent things. Up arrow takes users one folder higher and the Home icon takes users to their Home folder/location. You can see these work the same way in Dolphin, Konqueror, Save dialogues and justr about everywhere...
except the Quick Access plasmoid.
For some reason, instead of using the Home icon to return to your Home location (which by default is your Home folder), it uses the up arrow. Numerous times I've watched new users - 20 folders deep - who want to go up one directory in Quick Access, click on "Up" and wonder why they just jumped back 20 directories. The Home icon, however is known to virtually anyone who's ever used a web browser. They know it takes you back to where you started.
Please replace the "Up" arrow icon, with the "Home" icon so the image matches users expectations of what the icon does.

It's been half a year. Would be cool if someone could at least put a status on this.
Is there anything I can do to help?
