    In previous Ububtu releases I could enable icons in menus via several tweak tools, or via the gnome config editor.

    All of these options have disappeared or have no effect in 14.04.

    Takes me 20 times longer to find the menu item I want now, rather than the previous split-second to spot the colourful icon. :)

    Works like a charm! The setting reads 'buttons-...' instead of 'button-...'.
