[Glade-users] Icons in Glade

[bertus.dries at planet.nl (Bertus Dries)]

I finally found a program which I could use as an example how to use Glade3 
to include a PMG file as the standard icon. It appears to be adding the file 
name for the pictogram but leaving the name of the pictogram empty.
I think that this not a very clear method which could be solved by a more 
clear notes.

Well, no idea. The way GTK decides on which icon is to use is seems
kind of convoluted to me. Normally i'd advice hooking up GTK to gdb
and looking how it loads its icons, but with the icon cache in the
middle this is almost 100% futile.
