From ​http://my.opera.com/pROCKrammer/blog/how-to-enable-missing-menu-icons-ubuntu-gnome Works in Ubuntu 11.10 as well. Maybe we should enable the change in the install script 

Ubuntu 9.10/10.04(Lucid)/10.10 (Maverick) has realized, it is one of the best relizes of the Ubuntu.

As you noticed some menu icons is missing.

It is easy to enable them

Click

ALT+F2


enter

gconf-editor


and go to

/desktop/gnome/interface/


and tick on

menus_has_icons



and that is ...

Wish you luck

Same issue in some RHEL systems. It can be done from command line as well, using gconftool or gconftool-2

gconftool --set "/desktop/gnome/interface/menus_have_icons" --type bool "true" gconftool --set "/desktop/gnome/interface/buttons_have_icons" --type bool "true"

gconftool-2 --set "/desktop/gnome/interface/menus_have_icons" --type bool "true" gconftool-2 --set "/desktop/gnome/interface/buttons_have_icons" --type bool "true"
