You can set images on menu items where they are really, really necessary by setting the "always-show-image" property. If you have buttons that make no sense without the image, you have always the option of constructing their content manually instead of using the "image" property. I did both in a few cases in my programs, namely in special menus and where the image carried the primary information and the text only auxiliary. By changing the settings in *code* you behave a thousand times worse than Ubuntu did. The GtkSettings distro defaults can be probably changed in some user preferences; and in the worst case by gconf-editor or gconftool-2 --type boolean --set /desktop/gnome/interface/menus_have_icons true or similar means. How will anyone using your app disable the icons in menus?
