Inconsistent usage of icons in gnome-panel

[Adam Westerman]

Binary package hint: gnome-panel

When accessing the "Application" and "Places" menu on the gnome panel, icons are shown on the left side of the menu entries, this is not the case when you access the "System" menu, icons are, however, shown within the sub menus "Preferences" and "Administration".

It is however possible to turn these icons on by accessing the "Change Desktop Background" option (right click on desktop", and tick the "Show icons in menus" under the "Interface" tab.

Shouldn't icons be shown under the "System" menu in gnome panel by default, for the sake of consistency within the gnome-panel?

Strange. "Show icons in menus" always came enabled by default on my machine.

That's weird, I've had this problem for quite a while now, since Karmic alpha-something, I'll make a clean install, and report back ;)
