A common complaint about GNOME is that it has a certain fetish for icons. Menu entries, buttons - everything has an icon attached to it which often wastes space needlessly by making buttons larger than they need to be, as well as menus wider than they need to be. The good news (for me, at least) is that the next GNOME release will have all these icons removed.

Never display an icon and the text. The icon alone should suffice, if not, use only text. We don't need a bunch of weird icons, just text will do fine.
All the noobs won't recognize the icons, and all the powerusers will use the keyboard shortcuts.
More icons does not make it more userfriendly, easier to find functionality does.
