That's *the* point in my opinion. Duplicated entries are confusing and therefore not user-friendly. >> - Has no i18n > > That isn't an argument to remove it, but for adding i18n support to it.

It is not a feature of the menu, it is a bug of the DE beeing unable to hide icons if the user wants it. This isn't usually a problem for users of the mainstream DEs. And honestly, I think the vast majority of users (including those with exotic DEs) actually likes icons in the menu since that's what menus usually have. I don't want to waste my time and energy to please *every* user out there (that's virtually impossible), so I'd draw the line right here: If you don't want icons, fine but please don't elevate this bug to a feature.
