Description Rohan Dhruva 2009-11-19 18:32:23 UTC
Description of problem:
In section 4.1.4.1 of the release notes ("Icons in menus and buttons") it is mentioned that "To get the old, icon-rich appearance back, select System → Preferences → Appearance, click the Interface tab and enable Show icons in menus."

However, in the "Appearance" window, there is no tab called "Interface". The only three tabs are Theme, Background, and Fonts. The 2 commands of gconftool work well, though. This was reproduced on a Fedora 12 GNOME livecd with no updates applied.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
12.0.0-4.fc12.noarch

Comment 1 Joel Uckelman 2009-11-21 21:12:16 UTC
Is this a bug in the release notes or a bug in GNOME?

Comment 2 Rohan Dhruva 2009-11-21 21:27:42 UTC
I don't know, how do I confirm it? One thing though - on Ubuntu 9.10 which also uses same version of Gnome, the "Interface" tab is present by default.

Comment 3 Joel Uckelman 2009-11-21 21:31:16 UTC
Well, from messing with gnome-appearance-properties a bit, I think that the fact that the Interface tab is missing is a bug in gnome-appearance-properties. I filed Bug 539993 against control-center to that effect. Let's see what they say about it.
