One more question I'd like to open for debate is, are too many icons used in the menus? Usually, only "important" features get icons, to make them more easily recognizable in a long menu. Giving everything an icon misses the point because easy recognition is no longer possible. We can still have all the icons in the icons.svg file, but I think the number of actually used icons in the menu should be lower.
I agree.
Me too. Tango or not, I have always resisted the tendency to add icons for everything, but didn't always have the resources to fight the overzealous icon artists :) I support Jiho's proposal, except that I would still leave icons for Quit and for prev/next pairs of commands. Note however that we still need icons for those verbs that are on the toolbars (and when we have user-definable toolbars, this can be any verb), so this would mean suppressing the icons only in the menu, not removing it altogether.
