I believe has been "fixed" for Transmission with the upload of one of
indicator related packages. Marking it as invalid as there was nothing
to do here.

** Changed in: transmission (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Invalid

Status in “transmission” package in Ubuntu: Invalid

Bug description:
See the specification at: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CustomStatusMenuDesignGuidelines#Icons%20in%20menu%20items

An item should have an icon /only/ if the item represents a “dynamic object”, something of a type that may be added to or removed from the menu without customizing the software itself. Examples of dynamic objects are applications, documents, folders, disks, bookmarks, history items, user accounts, wireless networks, printers, fonts, and instant messaging statuses.

Rhythmbox: Currently "Previous" and "Next" have icons. These are actions, not dynamic objects, and the icons should be removed.

Transmission: Currently "Add File...", "Add URL...", "Pause All", "Start All" and "Quit" have icons. These are actions, not dynamic objects, and the icons should be removed.

Banshee (still being worked on, see bug #518171): "Pause", "Next", "Previous" and "Quit" have icons. These are actions, not dynamic objects, and the icons should be removed.
