Yes sorry, I was too precipitous as always... it works...

Yes and the whole "registry" concept copied from the Windows world that
seems to me awkward at best...

As always, thanks for your patience,

This controls the menu icon visibility at the application level.  The
solution above applies to all applications build with gtk.  I don't
understand why the gnome project made it so difficult to enable them.
This seems like a perfectly valid user preference.

So the 

Preference->Icon options->Icons in menu

is there for what?

Re: [Kicad-developers] menu icons

[José Ignacio]

Menu icons are disabled by default in gnome 3 in an effort to make it look
more like an Apple product. You can enable them (on gtk 3.10+) with:

gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.xsettings overrides
"{'Gtk/ButtonImages': <1>, 'Gtk/MenuImages': <1>}"

[Kicad-developers] menu icons

[Marco Ciampa]

I work under Linux.
I do not see any menu icon, either with the git compiled version or the snpy 
one.
Is this normal?

TIA

The context menus in kicad (Windows)  are full of icons,  but in osx and
Linux they have been always iconless for me :)

You used to be able to override the default platform setting by setting
-DUSE_IMAGES_IN_MENUS=ON.  But someone added  defined( __WINDOWS__ )
to the SET_BITMAP() macro so you can no longer override the platform
default.  I'm not sure when that happened.  I wrote the original macro
to allow folks to change it to their preference.  Maybe there was some
technical reason why it was changed to be a windows only setting.

Minor correction.  The current code is correct.  Set
-DUSE_IMAGES_IN_MENUS=ON and rebuild KiCad.  If you are using the GNOME3
desktop, open the tweakui settings tool and in the theme panel enable
the menu icons setting.  This will enable the menu icons for all apps
that are still built with them.  I just tested this on Debian testing
and it works.  I don't know if there is a way to enable this on an app
by app basis.  If you are using a different desktop (unity, kde, etc.),
you may have to figure out how to enable the menu icons.

Gtk 3.10 doesn't support this option anymore.

To restore icons for menu items and buttons for gtk2 (and wxWidgets) programs 
only, you can use dconf-editor to edit the 
org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.xsettings.overrides settings and add 
{'Gtk/MenuImages': 1, 'Gtk/ButtonImages': 1}.
Works on Fedora 20.

It's really coming from the session xsettings (another 'wonderful'
freedesktop thing), so it depends on the environment. lxde for example
controls it from lxappearance. IIRC stock GTK get it from an rc file.

Why not getting it from an X resource like *everything* before freedesktop
is a mistery to me...
