GAction has no functionality for accelerators, icons, or automatically
creating widgets. These are very useful in applications which reuse
the same action in more than one place (e.g. in a menu and on a
toolbar). How are we supposed to replace it in new code?

Removing icons from menus seems like a pointless attempt to emulate OS
X. There are places where menu icons do make sense.
