Bug Description
See the specification at: https:/
An item should have an icon /only/ if the item represents a “dynamic object”, something of a type that may be added to or removed from the menu without customizing the software itself. Examples of dynamic objects are applications, documents, folders, disks, bookmarks, history items, user accounts, wireless networks, printers, fonts, and instant messaging statuses.
Rhythmbox: Currently "Previous" and "Next" have icons. These are actions, not dynamic objects, and the icons should be removed.
Transmission: Currently "Add File...", "Add URL...", "Pause All", "Start All" and "Quit" have icons. These are actions, not dynamic objects, and the icons should be removed.
Banshee (still being worked on, see bug #518171): "Pause", "Next", "Previous" and "Quit" have icons. These are actions, not dynamic objects, and the icons should be removed.
