I really like the proposal, Caty! How about displaying the menu for Page actions twice , on the top and on the bottom of the page? This way, the need for scrolling could be partially fixed. It will look strange on small contents ... As a user, I would definitely distinguish visually better the actions on using the menu with icons. BUT, the other proposal is much more elegant and the step from a beginner user to an advanced user (regarding the menu usage) is small. So, the difference between those the two proposals is the time needed to get used with the menu. My opinion is that we either display the icons, or we don't.
Since the look and feel is very important, and using icons in submenus is a bit too much, I would choose the version without icons by default and maybe an option in the XWiki Preferences section to display icons or not.
