Quoting from upstream: I'm afraid a poll on such a trivial UI matter would be a terrible idea.
People never like change for sure, but one of our goals for 3.0 a cleaner and more well balanced interface. This is one of the steps, and I hope it will turn out as the better choice in the end. I don't think we should be afraid to fail every once in a while, and this one is easy to change back. :) -------------------- It is very clear upstream wants to take this into gnome 3.0 , so any change needs to be done only in Ubuntu, I'v seen mpt argue against this move since 2008! , maybe he[UX team] could decide Ubuntu's direction. No need for a poll i guess, since even Ubuntu's team is against this change and no amount of polling is going to change this upstream. ** Description changed: The icons are missing from the context menus and dialogue buttons , since i updated : libgnome2-0 (2.26.0-1ubuntu1) to 2.27.5-0ubuntu1 I believe libgnome2-0 is the cause of the problem, because there was a mention of the Update default properties for menus_have_icons, buttons_have_icons in this change list: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/karmic-changes/2009-July/005347.html Workaround: In the gconf-editor, check these two options: /desktop/gnome/interface/menus_have_icons /desktop/gnome/interface/buttons_have_icons Upstream is setting these two options to false by default. http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=557469 - http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=322934 + http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=583352 Their reasoning: to have a cleaner interface.
