Well, it does :-) Here is the (very short) OOo spec how Menus are
styled, along with the description of checkmarks vs. images:
http://specs.openoffice.org/ui_in_general/menus/Menus.odt

Concerning the issue, I can confirm some weird behavior in LibO 3.3.1 -
but, everything is fine in OOo 3.2.0 (quickly checked). I don't know why
"we" cause this issue ...

Furthermore, there might be an additional issue when using one of the
newer Linux distributions, since Gnome decided to deactivate the images
in the menus. Thus, the images have to be replaced by real checkboxes,
although the specification above is different in this case.

So, how to continue? Could anyone please check with a more recent OOo
3.3 - maybe on different platforms?

Petr, might it make more sense to continue this discussion in the issue
tracker?

Cheers,
Christoph
