I'm trying out the new default gconf settings in F11 (not Rawhide) and -
as expected - I don't have any icons in the File/Edit/... menus for each
window. Yay, menus are much snappier.

On the downside, there's also no icons in Applications / Places /
System. So does Rawhide GNOME handle them differently? I can't imagine
that losing icons in the panel menu (or having them only in Places as
Johann describes) is the intended behavior.
