I was thinking a terse label would be better for the API .

I was also assuming that for now GTK_STOCK_DISCARD would be labelled
"Close without Saving" as per the Gnome Human interface guidelines and
that any other labels would be left until there was genuine consensus.

P.S.  How about stock items for Full Screen, Status Bar, Page Setup,
Rotate Left (clockwise), Rotate Right (anti), Flip Horizontal, Flip
Vertical, and the list goes on and on ...  I figure that someday it should
nearly be possible to build EOG and GEDIT entirely from stock widgets.
