The problem with such an icon approach is that the icon, at that size, is nothing more than a few insignificant pixels lumped together, not really distinguishable anyway (small icons are heck for i.e. accessibility).

For what it is worth, I would prefer the icons too. The list entries you were talking about so far (About, application configuration) are used very rarely. This might also be an indicator that you are not willing to be disturbed by this huge element in the menu list all the time (while for instance Edit, etc. are used on a much more regular basis).

One, almost passionate plea though: whatever is decided upon: please, be consistent. EVERY application should have the menu.
