Public bug reported:

Gnome depreciated & removed gtk-icon-sizes settings (like gtk-menu-
images, even though they patched it back later) from gtk-3.10.

Commit:
(https://git.gnome.org/browse/gtk+/commit/?h=gtk-3-10&id=e779e04bc25e701d05aed6f532eac1b2cd384912)

In gtk-3.8 it was possible to use "gtk-icon-sizes = 
panel-menu-bar=16,16:panel-menu=16,16:gtk-large-toolbar=16,16:panel=8,8:gtk-button=16,16"
 in
 
~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini 

& control the icon-sizes. This regression affects quite a few bugs,  for
example in this bug (lp: #986969), Ubuntu specifically used to set panel
menu bar icon sizes( "panel-menu-bar=24,24"), but it doesn't read gtk-
icon-sizes from settings.ini any more. Moreover Ubuntu decided not to
use gtk-headerbar in trusty. All Gtk2 & Gtk3 applications are using
traditional toolbar & titlebar. Hence, users may still want to (should
be able to) set lower value of icon-size (for example, gtk-large-
toolbar=16,16) in low resolution displays.

While it may not be considered as critical bug , its a too drastic
change to land on a LTS. If upstream doesn't provide a patch for it,
Ubuntu should patch it. (They did lots of that in Gtk+ anyway).
