Get it through the icon theme:

	http://www.freedesktop.org/Standards/icon-theme-spec

GTK has new functions to support this.

The icons with the 'gnome-' prefix are the old GNOME-specific ones, but
'mime-inode:directory' and similar use the new shared naming scheme:

	http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/shared-mime-info-spec

Since GTK already uses the icon theme system for the chooser, this
shouldn't add any extra dependancies.
