Hmm. That's non-themeable, though. 

I think possibly the icon path 
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/foobar/foobar.png should be 
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/foobar.png - IIRC GTK will only look in 
specified directories of the theme path, not subdirs. 

Also, dumping it in /usr/share/pixmaps/ should work. 

wrt troubleshooting - have you tried just creating a GtkImage with the 
relevant stock image name?
