Bug Description

After updating on 2009-07-30, I have noticed that icons are missing from the Places and System options in the Gnome menu, as well as the User Switch Applet and from the drop down menus in every Gnome application. Nothing I can do brings them back, so I have assumed this is a bug from an update.

Using Karmic Alpha 3.

I have the exact same problem that occured after an update on 7/30. I installed using the 7/30 daily-live cd, and it was an update after that that caused this problem.

Looking on Ubuntu forums, a forum member has said this could be intentional. Try System > Preferences > Appearance, then click the Interface tab and select the 'Show icons in menus' option to restore all icons. But surely, this is a regression? I can't see how an update to remove icons from menus is an intentional move forwards to improve Ubuntu?

The cause is this, it was intentional: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=557469 (and I disagree with the idea)
