Re: Gtk::Stock::CANCEL

[Jim Hodapp <james hodapp gmail com>]

Thanks for the reply. I remember reading that they removed this feature, 
though I wasn't sure exactly what widgets it affected. I don't 
understand why they would remove the feature...they could leave it there 
but discourage the use of this feature through the HIG if they are going 
for a certain consistent look. I really need it in this case since I'm 
trying to implement buttons for a script interface that have functions 
like play, pause, stop, next, prev, etc. People are very familiar with 
the icons from everyday life and react faster to the icons than to 
reading the equivalent text.
