Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gimp

Since Ubuntu 9.10 the gconf-setting (gconf-editor)
/desktop/interface/menus_have_icons is switched off (FALSE). This might
be a good decision for menus in Gnome in general, but in GIMP dialogues
like "Gradient Editor Popup-Menu" are not usable at all - unless you are
good in reading numerical RGB values. As one can see in this screenshot
of the menu, the colours (=icons) are essential: http://docs.gimp.org/en
/gimp-gradient-dialog.html#gimp-gradient-editor-left-load

I set menus_have_icons to TRUE for the moment: 
conftool-2 --set /desktop/gnome/interface/menus_have_icons --type bool true 

Any ideas how to fix this in general?
