I have been using Natty for a month now and everything is running smoothly there is only one or two problems I have come across (on my Machine). This problem is as far as I can tell in relation to the global menu, I like to enable menu Icons as I feel having a visual cue makes it quicker to find the menu item quicker however almost all of the Icons are being replaced with not found image icons. Is this a bug or is there a simple fix for this?

global menu with missing Icons

This is a known whishlist bug.

Point is: the icons aren't suppsed to be there by default (it's about the /desktop/gnome/interface/menus_have_icons GConf key), so it looks like nobody really cared about that case.

Somehow Allan has the gconf key turned on (it was off on my fresh install). You can turn it off by entering this in a Terminal: gconftool --set /desktop/gnome/interface/menus_have_icons --type bool true – pydave Jun 2 '11 at 22:44
I have added myself to the bug htorque. I don't think I'm the only one who likes the visual cue's in the menu (I'm sure I heard somewhere a picture is worth a thousand words) this is particularly important in an application like Inkscape – Allan Jun 10 '11 at 9:08

I'm not aware of a simple fix, but most of my missing icon problems went away after I applied all available updates.

Also I found that some themes seem to eliminate the problem, so if you still see the problem after applying all your updates, try changing your theme.

I've changed theme a few times and changed icons but the problem persists I'll throw a few reboots at it and see if there's any change. Ps stop changing your Avatar mid question ;) – Allan Jun 2 '11 at 20:49
