Years ago, I suggested change clipboard icon to scissors. I was surprised, you took my suggestion.  The reason was at the time I put launchers on panel, often KATE or KWrite next to system tray, and I'd get confused which was text edit  or clipboard.  Sometimes when KDE4 and P5 load a certain way, I still see the old clipboard icon.  In theory someone could be in that confusing situation, but personally, I've had more stuff in my system tray for years, so I don't have that situation anymore.  Maybe the change was still good, or maybe people should have an option?  I'd guess the majority of people would think of a clipboard before scissors, since you don't always 'cut & paste,' also 'copy & paste'... even I do, and of course, when you cut paper, you might put it on a clipboard.  Currently, I'd be okay with either icon, but I thought, maybe you took my suggestion too far, if most people would at least want a choice (and most don't have the problem I had?)
