While trying to help Hyper, I got stuck with how to set icons on `button` nodes.

Yes, I probably deserve a flame, but something is really wrong somewhere.

This is the flow - very basic:  
Press one button I get the `bolt` icon on the button. But pressing the other one for `power-off` nothing happens.

I have read other posts (as this one [button colours](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/examples-of-colour-change-button-and-switch/3650)) and somewhere I read a reply about putting the icon on a button and putting it in the `icon` field.

Which is what I did. I used to put it in the `label` field.

(Ok, just looked while getting the two names. Mine is in the `label` (not `icon`) field. But irrespective it does the same.)

I am having a real bad run just now. I have (kind of) killed my RPI WAP the other day . . . . . .  
(sorry.)

Why isn't the `power-off` icon working?
