** Description changed:
- Binary package hint: nautilus
+ Gnome 2.28 will have menus_have_icons=false by default.
+ <http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=557469>
- Icons are not displayed by default in either context menus, dialogue
- buttons or firefox bookmarks menu
+ However, some menu items should have icons regardless of the value of that
setting. The Human Interface Guidelines already allude to this: "Show icons for
bookmark entries on the Bookmarks menu that indicate the
+ type of the bookmark, even if the user has globally turned off icons for other
+ menu items on the desktop"
<http://library.gnome.org/devel/hig-book/stable/menus-standard.html.en#menu-standard-bookmarks>.
In future there will be expanded guidelines on this
<http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=588668>.
- 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
- must 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.
- ----------------
-
- Please use this bug report only for Nautlius, and report missing menu
- icons in other applications as separate bugs. Otherwise anyone who fixes
- the bug in one package will be punished by being spammed about changes
- in packages they have no interest in. Use a common tag ("menu-icons")
- for bug reports on this issue.

+ These menu items in Nautilus should have always-show-icons set:
+ * all applications in the "Open With" submenu (patch available at
<http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=546916#c11>)
+ * "Home Folder", "Computer", "Templates", and other named locations in
"Places"/"Go" (but not "Search for Files...")
+ * all bookmarked locations in "Places"/"Bookmarks"
+ * all history locations in "Go".
** Changed in: nautilus (Ubuntu)
