you're right: the bug does not exactly match the problem I had - and my
description wasn't clear enough.

The issue didn't occur to me, when "I tried to set up" but rather when I was
testing the setup. The feature request in bug #3687 is about an optional
switch to disable the icons whereas IMO the have to be disabled anyway when
versioning is disabled for a BE user.

See Dmitrys post.

I interpret this as a vote for fixing this in TYPO3_4-0 and TYPO3_4-1 also.
