i know that

I know that. What i want to know is how the path is retrieve when you only
have the id.

the file gtkstockpixbufs.h gives info on the data of the icons (if i have
correctly understood it). I don't think that gdk-pixbuf-csource is really
what i want, as it requires tha path name of the icon. And i am looking
for it when i only have the id of the icon.
