Andres: Was the Reporter icon ever present in the help menu on Linux? On the other platforms I don't see icons in the Help menu at all.

I think every toolbar button that has an icon and a menu item, should use its icon in the menu item. Note that we already have the needed icon for the menu item, which would be the same as the icon used for the small toolbar button rendition.

Native Windows applications don't use menu icons. Note that I consider native Windows applications to those applications _shipped_ with Windows. Office is a native Windows application, but it's interface is far from native.

I can't talk about MacOS X and Windows Vista, can't try them.

Morphing, because Home menu item icon got fixed recently by bug 419437.

I don't really think adding yet another menu icon would improve the UI... But you are kind of right with the "every toolbar button that has an icon and a menu item" approach.

Yeah, that's the main reason I'm suggesting this.

Sometimes applications only give icons to frequently used commands to make them easier to spot.  What is the normal strategy for giving out icons to menu items for gnome?

They give many "stock" elements with application-independent icons and labels. If apps maintainer wants icon, adds it (I think).

I believe #9 might be correct on this one. Regardless of this, this is probably just as frequently used as the "About Firefox" button (obviously not to us Minefield users who use it multiple times a day).

I vote to confirm and possibly change to an enhancement.

Per comment 12 I am confirming and changing to enhancement, as I agree.

The page report toolbar button has been removed.
