I can confirm this bug as well for the system menu in karmic. ( see
http://launchpadlibrarian.net/33171684/system_menu_noicons.png )

Even with the gconf values on
/desktop/gnome/interface/buttons_have_icons and
/desktop/gnome/interface/menus_have_icons set to false, you will see
that editing menus and turning on the hidden "Control Center" icon. This
is an inconsistency.

As well, shouldn't these gconf values control the ENTIRE menu
(Applicatipns, Places and System). As it says in the GNOME changelog
"GNOME menus and buttons have been standardized across all applications
to not display icons by default" - ALL APPLICATIONS, not just the system
menu.

In karmic it only seems to affect the System Menu. Even though this may
be a default, and an intended change in GNOME 2.28, I would like to say
that IMO we (in Ubuntu) should keep icons in the system menu.

In fact, why was this even chosen as a GNOME default and why does it not
seem to affect anything but the System Menu?
