[.desktop] How to ascertain icon names?

Help
1 
Icon=kdeconnect

is used in [kdeconnect](file:///usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.kdeconnect)'s metadata.desktop file.

How could I ascertain the name of alternative icons available for use, such as one of a monitor?

If the locations of the icons is what you want, they’re installed under /usr/share/icons/, one folder per icon/cursor theme, e.g.:

$ ll /usr/share/icons/

There’s also a GUI app to browse icons but I can’t remember which it was, probably not a standalone app but a settings/config helper.
