Thanks for the link.  I have read all of the comments there and perused 
the documentation cited.  It is an interesting academic discussion... 
but I do not see clearly how I can edit my code to adjust to the new 
reality of the deprecated GTK stock items.  SInce I am working with 
gtkmm code, it is one level of abstraction above the GTK+ code.  So what 
do I do with lines like:
Gtk::MessageDialog dialog("Dialog message", FALSE, Gtk::MESSAGE_WARNING, 
Gtk::BUTTONS_CLOSE);
to get a warning icon to appear in the dialog box?  Any further hints?
