Ok I've forced it by using gtk_image_menu_item_set_always_show_image (core: rev 787 & plug-ins: rev 1995).
But for the menus, simply have a look to these two screenshots of Gedit menus: menus_have_icons = false (by default) => http://uppix.net/0/b/4/5546570d9a3bb52e0e97b6e72ebf5.png menus_have_icons = true => http://uppix.net/d/8/e/c643da1f28810df1baed9d7fadb01.png I think it's easier to find a menu if there is an image above it. But maybe I'm wrong... @ Sebastien Bacher: Is it useful to open a new bug report here to defend this choice? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gconf in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/611780 Title: applications menu doesn't show icons To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/cairo-dock-core/+bug/611780/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
