Some time ago, GNOME decided that "menus and icons having icons is confusing" (though a great deal of people said "hey, icons are easier to recognize than texts").
Personally, I disagree and reverted this to the previous behaviour. I found most people I know either did the same thing, or asked me how to do it.
I disagree as well.
I realize that following mainstream GNOME is usually the preferred choice inside fedora, however, I really believe that we should consider if this particular option is the best. Menus and Buttons with no icons? I can't think of many other places I've seen such a thing, icons are REALLY easier to recognize than texts, that's what GUI are for.
With the move to Gnome 3 this discussion is moot. None of it matters any more.
You're in for a shock with all the Gnome 3 changes if you think no menu icons are bad. :)
I suggest you download the latest F15 alpha and start discussions on the desktop list.
I realize the transition to Gnome 3 in F15, but this change affects everyone, even if I don't use gnome (any version), but use pidgin, or some other GTK-based software.
