Missing icons in Gnome

English Open Chat

I run a clean install of openSUSE 11.3. A couple of days ago it crashed and a bit later I was seeing the login screen. (Computer didn’t restart and I’m logged in automatically on boot.) I logged in and I noticed some menu’s had icons that weren’t there before.
e.g. The System menu of the classic Gnome menu and the right click menu in Nautilus.

After reboot, it was as before. The applications menu had icons ect, but some icons where missing in certain menu’s.
I searched and found a solution for my problem:
Sardorbek - How to enable, missing menu icons Ubuntu 9.10/10.04 (Lucid)

Click
ALT+F2

enter
gconf-editor

and go to
/desktop/gnome/interface/

and tick on
menus_has_icons

Is this a default configuration in openSUSE? And if so, why?
Or is this a bug or did something trigger it?

By default there are no icons on the menus… I believe this is common even to stock GNOME. As far as I am aware, it doesn’t come enabled in Fedora and openSUSE at least.

I don’t know why, but I don’t even like that feature… and yes, thats how you enable them.
