I think, someone somewhere does not take the time to understand the problem.
There was related a fix by Maxim for bug 123265. I tested with LO 7.0.3.1 and
there is still no icons in menu. HOWEVER, in LINUX MINT, in the THEMES dialog,
we have an option named "SHOW ICONS IN MENUS". It's set the TRUE. This mean I
want to see icons in Menu SYSTEM WIDE. As it is in GIMP, in INKSCAPE, etc. It
work everywhere in ALL applications EXCEPT LibreOffice. The application read
THIS setting, LibreOffice don't (or it's  a bug) ?  

WE NEED ICONS IN MENUS WITH GTK3. Libre Office is Complete non sens without
them. We find 10 times faster the menu item we look for with icons. Just look
at the Form menu in Writer... The prolem also affect the context menu. It's a
complete mess without icons. Totally UNUSABLE. People will go back to Windows
and Microsoft Office. 

I found a HACK that PROVE that YOU CAN display the ICON in the MENUs. 
I EDIT registrymodifications.xcu IN my .config folder: I set
IsSystemIconsInMenus to true and remove the line with ShowIconsInMenues (OR I
set IsSystemIconsInMenus to false and ShowIconsInMenues to true) 

NONE OF THEM was in the file, IsSystemIconsInMenus and ShowIconsInMenues. CAN
you explain WHAT EXACLY IS THE SETTING YOU READ in the OS, to set these flags?
BECAUSE as I said, my Linux Mint config is "SHOW ICONS IN MENUS" and it's it's
like LibreOffice doesn't care at all. 

Do you test with Linux Mint?  
Do you test with any GTK3 desktop environement? 
Where now MILLIONS or users all around the WORLD not able to WORK with
LibreOffice because a majority of desktop environments are GTK3. 

Can you take the time to communicate with everyone implicated (Linux Mint,
GTK3) and take the time to understand the Problem. Because LibreOffice without
icons in menu is like absolutely nothing and everyone will go back to Microsoft
Office. Please listen, analyse, understand, and do something. 

THANKS
