As much as I do agree that going back on the old way of including icons on every menu item possible is a good (both productively and aesthetically) change, I do feel that the lack of icons on actions on the main panel menu items is a step backwards in aesthetics (see screenshot-1), and feels to a user as if the icon should be there, because the other items all have icons, and the option to change their icon is in the menu editor. I therefore propose that 'essential' icons, present across almost all programs should have icons, but 'non- essential' icons should no. I believe that these 'essential' icons should be limited to the following: File: New, Open, Save, Save As, Print, Print Preview, and the recent files list; Edit: Undo, Redo, Copy and Paste; View: None; Search: Find...; and Help: Contents and About (the icon for which I think should be changed to the actions/gtk-info icon). Of course this is simply my opinion as a Ubuntu user, and should of course be put to community review, but could you please create a system to put this to review. Alternatively this feature could be implemented with a option in the menu editor (right click on panel menu -> Edit Menus) with "Enable icons for all menu items", and a checkbox in System -> Preferences -> Appearance -> Interface with the option to "Show icons on common menu items"
