K icon in panel mis-figured

[Timothy Murphy]

I'm running Fedora-24/KDE on my laptop (and have been for some time).
In the last day or two, the K-icon (Application Launcher) in my panel
has been replaced by something strange - as I see it,
there are 3 dots on the left, and an arrow-head on the right.

Is this intended? If so, what is it meant to represent?
If it is not intended, is there any way of recovering the old icon?

right click -> properties -> select icon -> done

I'm afraid I don't see any "properties" option when I right-click
on the icon (Application Launcher), desktop or panel ...

Application Launcher *settings* maybe?

I didn't find this.
But I see now when I right-click on the icon 
and go to Application Launcher Settings
I am able to choose the "K" icon that I love (sort of).

I also see that the icon I had before this change 
was indeed the default icon.
It seems to me extremely ugly; what is it supposed to represent?

"find" something....

That is the plasma icon.

FWIW I noticed the same issue after the update to kf-23 (kde frameworks).

I believe what you got was the plasma icon.  The default (I believe) for
breeze is the simple
black and white K surrounded by a partial gear.  It is named "kde".  That
is the one I use....

Everyone has different taste, of course.

Your advice was to right-click and choose the "properties" option.
I merely pointed out that there was no such option.

Not to worry, your response helped me,
as I found the correct option easily enough.

to be honest: i expect somebody to find a however exactly called option 
like this in a context menu with 3 entries without forcing me to switch 
my desktop from german to english (in doubt by look at the other 2 and 
recognize "ok, that are not settings, properties, options for the icon 
itself" as well it's not unusual to click on a icon in a KDE settings 
dialog to change it

It's a bug that should be fixed now, but it may require manual intervention 
to get rid of any broken icon:
https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2016-41a78a06f8

right click application launcher => alternatives => ...

select anything, and back to your original chosen one, though doing it this 
way may lose any other customizations you've made (like favorites).

or manually adjust the icon as mentioned elsewhere in this thread.
