Gtk 3.10 doesn't support this option anymore.

To restore icons for menu items and buttons for gtk2 (and wxWidgets) programs only, you can use dconf-editor to edit the org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.xsettings.overrides settings and add "{'Gtk/MenuImages': <1>, 'Gtk/ButtonImages': <1>}".
Works on Fedora 20.
