I can only echo this. On my system when the icons are gone from menus,
the menus still
look as if there /should/ be icons there, only they're not, which is
really ugly.

See http://file.status.net/identica/awalton-20090719T110853-tltvv6t.png.

If that indenting could be fixed it probably wouldn't look so alien,
but as it stands, it's horrible.
I've been running a gtkrc to remove button images for ages though, so
I really won't miss those.
