Public bug reported:

Icons are not displayed be default in either context menus, dialogue
buttons or firefox bookmarks menu

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=583352

To ensure that *essential* icons are displayed, relevant applications
are to be patched.

Design Suggestion:
Meanwhile, now that we have flicked the switch and set icons to be off by 
default, we need to fix relevant applications to match. You can help! Whenever 
you see a program that has menu items for objects where those menu items now 
don't include icons, report a bug on the program that it should use 
always-show-icons for those particular items. And conversely, whenever you see 
a program with icons on menu items for things that aren't objects, report a bug 
that the icons should be removed.

Examples of menu items that count as objects, and should therefore have
icons: applications, documents (including any recent documents in a
"File" menu), disks, partitions, folders, bookmarks, history items, IM
accounts, IM statuses, user accounts.

Examples of menu items that don't count as objects, and should therefore
*not* have icons: openable windows (e.g. "Edit" > "Preferences" or "Go"
> "Edit Bookmarks"), toolbars (e.g. "View" > "Toolbars" > anything),
actions (e.g. "Go" > "Back").

Unlike menus in Windows, whether a menu item has an equivalent toolbar button 
is irrelevant to whether the menu item should have an icon.

Kindly identify the applications that need icons and report it here, add
them by using "Also affects project".
