in case this helps, I'll add my "I like the icons" ;)

Anyway, in my experience with other users, it's true they don't read texts, 
dialogs, popups, menus or anything. But they do recognise icons properly. I'm 
sure you all (even those willing to remove icons) have had experiences like 
this?

Icons definetely help making your actions faster. And I'd say lots of times 
those menus without icon go rather unnoticed (and thus unused) by the users, 
which is a shame.
