Instead of sleeping bear, we simply put KDE Mascot in sleeping position with Zs? Created attachment 154136 [details]

Interesting idea, but I think it needs to be a bear. Bears hibernate; cartoon dragons don't. Or do they? Maybe? But there's no association with dragons and hibernating. If we use an asleep cartoon dragon with Zs, that looks like sleep, not hibernation. Created attachment 154141 [details] attachment-10486-0.html Ya..it could be mistaken for sleep. Let me think and get creative with konqui.

Slightly more descriptive hibernate icon.
How about a slightly more descriptive alternative? I hope SATA discs aren't like new the new diskettes though. :)

Sorry for the small size - I just used inkscape's size template.
