Hi Kevin,
The patch addresses just the appearance of the icons, the position was
decided by the person who introduced the new feature of he latest.

The presence of a mouse arrow is not needed in the ratsnest icon. Please
have a look at inkscape icons (a reference tool) for similar icons.

I know that sometimes we should follow our feeling about what icons should
look like. The truth is that often smarter icon people (aka inkscape UI
people) might know more.

cheers
Fabrizio
