oh dear, oh dear...

historically this is where i will make a scene, like a deranged lunatic
kicking and screaming about various things, then i get the "hey stop
being a jerk mail" - however i am at peace with the world these days. 

please feel free to use blackbox, it is a very nice windowmanager,
please feel free to buy battery farm eggs instead of free range, drink
half fat milk as well as full fat, please feel free to chose your
religion freely, or not as the case may be, wear a jumper if you are
cold, feel free to drink from the bottle - you can do all these things
and not share them on this list.

now lets take care of business:

yes some icons are rather ugly, this is often because the icon provided
by the client is ugly, i mostly just use gnome so most of teh icons are
actually rather nice :)

i think the code you want is in popup.c

it would be nice to have this as an option, you can turn off the icons
in the menu in the rc file, 
<menu>
 <desktopMenuIcons>no</desktopMenuIcons>
</menu>

you could probably do some cut and pasting?
