I think that's the answer to the wrong question. The OP asked for "without 
text", not "with other text".

If the intent is to put them in a tool bar as just icons, then the trick is to 
set the tool bar style:
    ToolBar->set_toolbar_style ( Gtk::TOOLBAR_ICONS );

If you want to use stock images for other things, you probably want the 
Gtk::Stock::lookup method to get the image.
