To add to the list of wanted/useful stock items, I have at one point or 
another been missing the following stock buttons:

Browse...   (Like browse for a file or directory)
Edit...
Default     (Like reset to default values)
Abort
Search...   (OK, Find is there, but Search often means something different)
Connect
Upload...
Download...
Import...
Export...


A few other points:

- I must admit I haven't read the GTK+ style guide, so perhaps there's a 
good reason for it explained there, but none of the stock buttons has a 
[...] suffix to indicate that pressing the button will bring up another 
window.

- The "Revert" image shows a diskette, which associates this action to 
something that's got to do with files, which is not necessarily the case.

- Diskettes are going away. I suspect that even today, there are people 
that has never seen a diskette. Thus, I picture of a diskette is not a 
very good visual cue. I suggest using the generic storage symbol 
(barrel) instead.
