Really?

I am talking about icons in menus.
This issue (no icons in menus) was already reported by users.

I have 2 Linux installs on my computer:

the first is ubuntu 14.04 and uses KDE : icons are displayed in Kicad menus.
the other is ubuntu 16.04 and uses Unity: icons are *not* displayed in Kicad menus.
(I also used ubuntu 14.04 on Unity: no icons)

Displaying icons in menus or not is a problem reported by users, not only for Kicad.

Just Goggling about this topic (like I did a long time ago).
