I can confirm this bug as well for the system menu in karmic. ( see http://launchpadlibrarian.net/33171684/system_menu_noicons.png )

Even with the gconf values on /desktop/gnome/interface/buttons_have_icons and /desktop/gnome/interface/menus_have_icons set to false, you will see that editing menus and turning on the hidden "Control Center" icon. This is an inconsistency.

As well, shouldn't these gconf values control the ENTIRE menu (Applicatipns, Places and System). As it says in the GNOME changelog "GNOME menus and buttons have been standardized across all applications to not display icons by default" - ALL APPLICATIONS, not just the system menu.

In karmic it only seems to affect the System Menu. Even though this may be a default, and an intended change in GNOME 2.28, I would like to say that IMO we (in Ubuntu) should keep icons in the system menu.

In fact, why was this even chosen as a GNOME default and why does it not seem to affect anything but the System Menu?
