[Bug 408361] Re: Applications need to use "gtk_image_menu_item_set_always_show_image" for essential icons.

** Description changed:

- Icons are not displayed be default in either context menus, dialogue
+ Icons are not displayed by default in either context menus, dialogue
  buttons or firefox bookmarks menu
  
  Upstream is setting these two options to false by default.

  http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=583352
  
  To ensure that *essential* icons are displayed, relevant applications
- are to be patched.
+ must be patched.
  
  Design Suggestion:
  Meanwhile, now that we have flicked the switch and set icons to be off by default, we need to fix relevant applications to match. You can help! Whenever you see a program that has menu items for objects where those menu items now don't include icons, report a bug on the program that it should use always-show-icons for those particular items. And conversely, whenever you see a program with icons on menu items for things that aren't objects, report a bug that the icons should be removed.
  
  Examples of menu items that count as objects, and should therefore have
  icons: applications, documents (including any recent documents in a
  "File" menu), disks, partitions, folders, bookmarks, history items, IM
  accounts, IM statuses, user accounts.
  
  Examples of menu items that don't count as objects, and should therefore
  *not* have icons: openable windows (e.g. "Edit" > "Preferences" or "Go"
  > "Edit Bookmarks"), toolbars (e.g. "View" > "Toolbars" > anything),
  actions (e.g. "Go" > "Back").
  
  Unlike menus in Windows, whether a menu item has an equivalent toolbar button is irrelevant to whether the menu item should have an icon.

- Kindly identify the applications that need icons and report it here, add
- them by using "Also affects project".
