Yeah, sorry I missed this thread.

It's default that way in 4.10.

I think to allow menus to map faster...

Do people feel strongly about changing the default?
Adding icons it will make the menus slower and use more memory.

I personally don't feel too strongly about it one way or the other,
but tend to just want to follow upstream where sensible. ;)

Disabling the icons in the menu does not really make it load faster, even on low-spec machines (I have tried that on an old single-core Atom).

Icons are a good help for finding items in menus. I most often refer to menu position and icon when I am opening menu entries I already know.

For someone who does not know what a program name means, icons are also a good orientation.

I agree with you that following upstream is a good idea in general, but not in this case. This is a position I share with nearly all other Xfce Distros that ship 4.10. I personally know not one which disables icons in menus.
