On my Ubuntu I have not had any menu icons on Subsurface. Also setting
these values with gconftool-2 did not enable menu icons on Subsurface
(/desktop/gnome/interface/buttons_have_icons and
/desktop/gnome/interface/menus_have_icons).

Applying the patch got me the menu icons (in Subsurface), but this did
not seem to affect the global configuration. And I did not notice
changes in other applications, some have menu icons some don't, no
matter what the global settings are. I wonder if restarting the
desktop would be required for the effect or if the information is not
totally accurate.
