The old way was jaunty without the applet or any previous release since ubuntu existed (System menu has icons up to jaunty). Jaunty is exactly affected by this in its default settings, and it looks awful.
All gnome programs have icons in menus. Through gconf one can choose to see them or not (this is already implemented and used). So if this was fixed you still won't see icons, but I and many of my friends would. Everybody wins. This applet is the only place were the icons are missing at all. The needed icons are there, ready and installed, so it's a matter of ~10 lines of code to set them when building the menuitems. You've got to respect users' choices and don't break their habits. Please reconsider fixing this bug and adhering to the common behaviour of other gnome programs. If you look around there are no programs with ten or so items in a menu and not even a single icon. I might even send a patch if you are a little more responsive. -- Indicator applet has no menu icons https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/458929 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
