Err, indeed. Sorry to do this, but could we get some feedback on that? Designs 
can have bugs, too, until proven otherwise :)
Given that a stated goal of the application indicator system is to integrate 
with whatever platform it's on, it seems odd that our GNOME implementation 
would go to these lengths to look like SWT.

I recall reading a document on the Wiki, at some point, which said this
was done temporarily to poke out improper applications of icons. Icons
in menus would cause horrible looking indented text, so they would stand
out and get fixed instead of just glossed over.

However, as we approach beta 1 and every new indicator thus far has the
same misused icons (no longer just a model example of what not to do, as
in the Rhythmbox indicator), it seems that debugging-centric code will
end up landing in final (much like the intentionally horrible popup
window notify-osd falls back to).

I'll see if I can dig up that page...
