Just made some simple improvements to the UI, as well as the generate.sh file used by package monkey.

Icons aren't showing up for me in the menu bar (Xubuntu). Should they be?

At first they didn't work for me too. I fixed this by running pycompile.

Try running pycompile src/bitmessageqt/bitmessageui.py

I ran that but nothing seemed to change. It didn't output anything to the console.

It seems that your problem has to do with GTK's behavior of disabling menu icons by default. I was able to find a solution to the problem from a similar bug here.

Just run this to enable menu icons:

gconftool-2 --type boolean --set /desktop/gnome/interface/menus_have_icons true

Poof! Now GTK has native-theme menu icons.

I wonder whether that should be added to the packaging, although it's not applicable to all desktops.

I think we should leave the GTK behavior as-is, since that's a GTK default. We could probably search change the ~/.gtkrc on startup if we really wanted to force the menu icons on non-Qt setups.

Any thoughts?
