--- Comment #22 from jEsuSdA 8) <listas at jesusda.com> ---
Hi!

Please, reconsider add this option. IMHO there are some important reasons to
it:


1 - GTK3 is not only used by Gnome3. There are some other GTK desktop
environments  like XFCE and these other desktop users may not be very happy
with the Gnome3 guidelines (if they were, they'd probably use it).

2 - Hide menu icons is very very inconvenient for all the people like me who
teach other people to use LibreOffice. I usually teach courses on LibreOffice
and other FLOSS and I've never had a problem elaborating my courses
documentation. I use GNU/Linux and my students usually use Windows or Mac, so,
the screenshots of LibreOffice in GNU/Linux were very similar to their system. 

But now, when I take an screenshot the menu and options without icons are so
different in relation with the student environment, so it is impossible to me
to update my documentation.

In addition, for newbies, having an representative icon of an option it's very
convenient cause they can easily identify the option and remember it. 

Finally, when I have to teach students in other languages, my screenshots are
totally valid, cause the menu icons are the same in all LibreOffice languages,
but with this icons removed, the screenshots are totally unusable, cause the
student has to known the language of the screenshot to understand it.

Please, please, consider that. If you want more and more people using Libre
Office, please, help the people to use it, and help the people like me who try
teaching others to use it. 

I know Gome 3 HIG could be awesome to some people, but Libre Office is used by
a large community of other kind of people. Help us grow this community instead
of making it more difficult.

Please, reconsider add the Tools > Options > View > "Icons in menus:" and
"Shortcut in context menus". If you want follow Gnome HIG, make this disabled
by default, but do not remove at all. Removing this option does more damage
than good.

Thanks.
