Ugh, so they're actually working *against* devs now... Have the GTK+ devs ever tried to create software that has more then three buttons?
If GTK fights us like this there's obviously only bad choices...
One thought though: If we plan to continue to use as many icons as we currently do I'd not rule out option 2 just yet. It's obviously the cleanest and visually most appealing choice! The only downside I see is that it wastes a lot of space and would look quite strange in menus where there are no checkboxes / icons. But if there would be a possibility to remove the space reserved for checkboxes / icons if there are no checkboxes / icons in a given menu I'd say this would be the perfect solution! Then we maintain a clear look in menus with icons but don't waste space in menus without them
+1 (looks a lot better to me)

Re Point 3... unfortunately, this is imposed on us by changes in the Gtk+ API. Basically, the left column is now reserved solely for checkboxes/radio buttons and cannot be accessed via the API. Icons in the left column are deprecated in Gtk+ 3 and have been removed entirely in Gtk+ 4.
We came up with a list of options at the Hackfest: https://imagebin.ca/v/3Re6nhBUI1LZ
Unfortunately, Option 5 is not possible, as the API does not allow access to the left column. We decided that Option 3 was the most acceptable solution, although care should be taken to group indented menu items between separators so as to look more aesthetically pleasing.
Best wishes,
Alex

Hi all,
first of all I'd like to thank everybody for their contributions during the hackfest!
As with all new code I noticed some regressions. As you probably know best on what parts of the code you worked yourselves I'll just list everything I noticed here, so you know about it and can attempt to fix it. (If I need to file a bug for any of those please let me know, but I hope most of those issues can be fixed easily):
The Inkscape Window is not restored to the correct position anymore (probably related to https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/commit/fa8a2ee7e2539b145a87ac9af0d9748e...).
On a multi-monitor system with two monitors oriented like [1][2] with [2] being the primary monitor the Inkscape window is restored somewhere on [1] if it was closed on [2], so probably the combined screen area is not accounted for when calculating positions. Some icons are broken or missing, see https://inkscape.org/de/gallery/item/11147/broken_icons.zip (there might be others, but those are the ones I noticed). During the hackfest menu icons were re-added. However on Windows I was only able to find them in a single location (the path menu). Aren't there supposed to be more icons? Also they look a bit weird (see https://media.inkscape.org/media/resources/file/menu_icons.png): Instead of using the space to the left they are indented like the rest of the text shifting menu labels unnecessarily to the right resulting in a very uneven look.
If I notice anything else I'll report it here.
If I can provide additional information or help with debugging please let me know.
Regards, Eduard
