Re: Stock items (button images / menu images etc)

Hi Emmanuele,

Thanks for your comprehensive reply and the links.  They were indeed 
very helpful.  I just wondered if anybody could explain this mystery 
which (I must confess) has got me totally baffled at the moment....

Suppose I temporarily delete every ".png" file on my system as well as 
every ".svg" file (i.e. so there's absolutely no chance of any of them 
getting found, either at compile time or at run time).  Believe it or 
not, that makes no difference to whether or not I see button images etc 
in my GTK+ apps.  Even if I rebuild libgtk+ as well as rebuilding my app 
- no difference whatsoever.  I see the images if I use the old style 
names (e.g. "gtk-dialog-info").  I do not see images if I use the new 
style names ("dialog-information" etc).

To me, this suggests that wherever the images come from, they do not get 
loaded from PNG files at run time (or at least if they do, there's some 
fallback mechanism which kicks in if the PNG files aren't present).

So where else could the images be coming from???
