Minor correction.  The current code is correct.  Set
-DUSE_IMAGES_IN_MENUS=ON and rebuild KiCad.  If you are using the GNOME3
desktop, open the tweakui settings tool and in the theme panel enable
the menu icons setting.  This will enable the menu icons for all apps
that are still built with them.  I just tested this on Debian testing
and it works.  I don't know if there is a way to enable this on an app
by app basis.  If you are using a different desktop (unity, kde, etc.),
you may have to figure out how to enable the menu icons.
