Ricardo enlighted us that yast inherits this feature from the GNOME default and he said on the yast-devel list: ============================================================================ The gtk plugin honors gnome's show-button-icons flag (which wasn't the case in 11.2), and now gnome (and opensuse along with it) defaults to FALSE. I dunno the rationale behind the new default, but it seems clear the gtk plugin should abide by it. It if is to be changed, I suggest we do at the gnome level. This setting can be changed by issuing: (for button and menu icons, respectively): gconftool-2 --set /desktop/gnome/interface/buttons_have_icons --type bool true gconftool-2 --set /desktop/gnome/interface/menus_have_icons --type bool true I personally find it much more comfortable to navigate through the menu when icons are enabled. Button icons I find are less visually useful (they are scarce and often their location already conveys their semantics), so it only adds to the overall UI pollution. ============================================================================== I like both gadgets, though ;) BTW, we should also check whether icons are enabled on XFCE and LXDE. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
