Hello

I am no an OSX user, but I know that OSX generally don't use these
menu icons. It is also described in [1], see the section "Using Icons
in Menus".

I have also seen in Gnome 3 that it has been removed. I cann't see the
menus in my Gnome setup, even though I try to enable it via gconf.

I don't like this, I like the icons in the menu, they make it easier
to find the wanted menu entry by looking at these small pictograms.
IMO this is a matter of fact that some designers don't actually use
their computer.
