Another option, which takes more work but may pay off with less work  
and easier reuse in the long run (e.g. if you want to create a  
toolbar button for the same action, have a bunch of custom icon+text  
combinations, or use UIManager to create the menus), is to create  
your own stock item.

See examples/adding_stock_icons.pl in the Gtk2 source tree.
