Fabrizio, I'm fine with the icon changes. The menu entry changes could use some improvement. I'm not sure removing "Run" from the KiCad launcher menu entries is a good idea. Generally (at least in most of the applications that I've looked at), actions are used in menu string when the entry is an action. I also think it's probably time to get rid of the old Eeschema/Pcbnew application names. Since KiCad normally runs in a single process, better menu entries might be "Edit Schematic" and "Edit Board (or PCB)". New users aren't going to know what Eeschema and Pcbnew are.
I would also would not refer to the footprint library "table" either. The word table seems to confuse users. I know we refer to it as a table on the developers mailing list but I think users are more comfortable with "Manage Footprint Libraries". I am aware that I used table for the symbol library table dialog menus entry but this is temporary. Once I finish the symbol library table remapping code, this dialog will go away and "Manage Symbol Libraries" will open the symbol library table edit dialog. The use of symbol was intentional so I would prefer that it not be changed. There was a discussion about this not too long ago and the consensus was that symbol made the most sense versus component or part. I realize that component (and part) are used in the source code and most of the UI strings but I would prefer that we change the UI strings to symbol for the stable 5 release rather than continue to use component and/or part. I will change the source when I get a chance so that the terminology is coherent between the source and the UI strings. I know we still have the module/footprint distinction in the Pcbnew source but at least all of the UI strings are "footprint".
