Hi

System - Preferences - Appearance - Interface and then the first checkbox. There you can edit it.

I would still say this is a bug.
It only affects 8 of of all the things in the menus and the space for the icons are still left, so i don't even see a reason for this option, or why it i off by default in 9.10.

[Brad (brad-potts)]

I agree it should be enabled by default. I had this same issue when I upgraded to 9.10

[nicolas kleinklaus (nknico)]

It's possible to have the 8 missing icons by modifying System - Preferences - Appearance .

But then, icons apears in ALL menus (nautilus, file roller, evince etc ... ). So it's not a solution.

Doesn't make sense that it would be disabled, but at least it's fixable for someone that's willing to get on google, find the right search terms, look it up on launchpad and follow the instructions.

[Guédon Mickaël (ebrain)]

Yes, the icons show up when you enable a setting in the Appearance panel, but I think this is still a bug.

I don't want the icons in all gnome menus, I want them as basically as in the main menu, and by the way it works for most of them already.

So I agree with the bug-reporter, it's a bug to me as well.

I am experiencing too this strange bug after upgrading to 9.10: some icons are missing using human icon collection.

1) all icons in system menu
2) some icons in places menu (connect to server, search for files, recent documents)
3) icons of firefox addon "noscript" menu (this is probably a different issue...)

Unfortunately the same happens with every collection of icons (gnome, tangerine, oxygen, ...)

This is a bug, even if not critic.

[Someone (temp4746)]

Why would this be connected to the setting anyhow?

The tool bar menus should always have icons in them as it looks to anyone I asked about it that their missing and this is a bug.

[Riot777 (riot777)]

Try this commands to fix this issue:

gconftool-2 --type boolean --set /desktop/gnome/interface/buttons_have_icons true
gconftool-2 --type boolean --set /desktop/gnome/interface/menus_have_icons true

@all: I would like to have screenshots of these problems, if you do not mind. I am actually unsure of how it appears.

I am also downgrading the status to INCOMPLETE, pending response.

Thank you
