Right, because gtk-add is not the name of the file but id of the stock icon:

http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/gtk-Themeable-Stock-Images.html

You should register your own stock icon if you want to use them. I
suspect stock_refresh is not registered or registered under different
name, say gtk-refresh. Probably it was registered earlier in libgnome
and was dropped now.
