Gnome 2.26 to gnome 2.28 System menu icons disabled (icons not showing/disappeared)

I've just upgraded to Gnome 2.28 from 2.26 on Debian unstable. Everything seems
to be cool in shiny in the new gnome 2.28. However I've noticed that the icons in gnome panel
System menu are not showing a well as the icons for "Search For Files" and "Places" are
missing as well. After consulting with a guy named borschty in ##gnome irc.freenode.net
I found out that the default behaviour of icons in menus has changed in Gnome 2.28 so if somebody
likes to have it back activated here is how:

In:
System-> Preferences-> Appearance-> Interface
Here tick the "Show icons in menus" option

Now your icons should appear back in the menus.
More about this kind of issues can be red on the following blog.
