Problem is I am not running under GNOME. I have KDE4 installed on my machine and
I'm trying to port the GTK2 app to work with GTK3.

The thing is - I want to have a clean compilation before saying: this
works fine. ;-)

Now, since you mention "best practice", let me ask you - what is it?
Using named icon? If yes - can you throw in some code? I will see if
that will find the icon...

Now, I may be able to install GNOME and run it there just to make sure KDE is
out of the picture. ;-)

Yup, I will need it.

Thank you.
