This suddenly started happening, and I don't know why...But I suspect that I bumped something. Does anyone know what may cause these icons to appear?

Beside "Create New Folder" and "Create New Document" and "Paste" have never had these icons beside them before. I don't mind them, but I want to know where they came from.

This happens on Ubuntu/Ubuntu 2D, GNOME/GNOME Classic, and Cinnamon desktop environments.

Thanks all!

Have you recently installed a new icon theme or desktop theme? – Mark Rooney Mar 18 '12 at 8:29
I have not. I did, however, recently just install GNOME 3. Could that have done it? I removed GNOME 3 and it still remained. – Ryan McClure Mar 18 '12 at 8:31

If you have dconf-editor installed:

...

and one more command line alternative:

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface menus-have-icons false

Excellent, that did it! I'm not sure how they appeared, but that took them away. Thank you so much! – Ryan McClure Mar 18 '12 at 16:17
