Removal of menu icons (Re: Defaulting to "Icons on Buttons")

[Sébastien Laoût]

I disagree too on the removal of icons in menus.
And I would want to see the icons on buttons made default in KDE 3.5 as I 
always switch them on after a KDE installation.

Try it!

(or with the Edit menu of Konqueror, if you're not using KMail)
That's really fast to recognize the trash icon, compared to reading all the 
texts.

OK, 16x16 icons requiere manual work.
But that's not a reason to remove that (and this work is already done in most 
icon themes).
If every programmer would as well not implement difficult features that would 
lead to easy-to-maintain applications, but useless ones...
