I'll add it to the TODO list for the HIG.  There are a lot more buttons with 
icons now than there were in old 3.5 releases.

FYI, a heuristic review on Appearance has been given to Will.  It's just a 
matter of whenever he gets around to fixing these things.

Most of the previews in System Settings are below the configuration dialogs,
