A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Icons for Disabled JMenuItems don't follow specs

The JavaDoc for setIcon says:
     * Sets the button's default icon. This icon is
     * also used as the "pressed" and "disabled" icon if
     * there is no explicitly set pressed icon.

However when the Icon is not an ImageIcon this is not working, the icon is simply not shown.
(Note: it works as expected for JButtons)

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
run code
open the menu

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
an oval to appear next to the menu item
ACTUAL -
no oval

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
