Hi all,
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.

I must check on the live-cd but for a completely new user, no icons
don't make much difference but tooltips do.
I still think both things make a difference. E.g. an icon of an envelope
can be easily associated with an eMail application, an icon of a Folder
can be associated with a file manager. Of course that's not the case for
all icons, but for many.
