Bug Description

Inkscape does not have a visual indication in the View menu whether the Grid is on or off or whether snap is on or off. Is it a known bug? Is it Gtk+ theme specific? I'm using Inkscape on Mageia Linux Cauldron on a Pentium 4 machine (x86-32).

I doubt it is a limitation of GTK+: Dia for example, compiled with the same version of GTK+ (2.24.4) as Inkscape, does display indicator icons of the current state in the 'View' menu for the various options which can be toggled on/off with a single menu item (unlike the menu entries in Inkscape's 'View > Show/Hide' sub.menu which use checkboxes)).

… the same for Evince 2.30.3 (menu 'View').

The symbols indicating the status of such toggle menu items are still present when menu images are disabled globally ('gtk-menu-images = 0' in ~/.gtkrc-2.0) i.e. the indicators are a feature of GTK+ (menus or menu items) and not provided by the application icon set.

Committed fix to trunk r11600
Grid/Guide/Snap/Color Management should have checkmarks in the menu when enabled.
