I know it's slightly OT, but I think it would make more sense if menus without text had tooltips, but menus with text didn't. So essentially the reverse of what we have now. Because, no matter what we do with those icons, they are never going to accurately describe exactly what the menu is for without the user having to click to find out and then remember. I don't mean restoring the overly verbose and cluttered tooltips of notification icons past, but just what the menu text would have said if it was a text menu item. Sort of like the alt="" text of an HTML image. Of course we can do without tooltips on menus altogether, and we'll get by, but I think done right they add polish.
