Some people believe that we need to add new functionality to Swing Actions
to allow programmers not to show icons from Action for menus

see

for more information

He is asking about something like Action.ShowActionIconsByDefault flag
to be able to switch the icons from Actions for menus,
but leave it as is for buttons
I was thinking of a new per-action property dictating whether or not actions should show their icon in a menu.
