[Glade-devel] Adding stock items

[Jeff Westerinen]

Yes, one of our guys was questioning the presentation of the icons in a
drop-down list instead of an "icon chooser" widget, such as when you add
a custom application launcher to the panel in Gnome.  We need to add
_234_!! more icons.  The list will become quite unwieldy.  I'd like to
fix that.

Jeff,
    If you think of something nice to handle stock items and how
catalogs can provide them, that would be great - and worth writing down
somewhere in bugzilla - I just want to clarify that this feature was
never really analyzed - it was a rush to make gnome stock icons appear
in the menu - the first shortcoming of this I can point out is the user
has no idea what icons are safe to use in a gtk+-only project.

Cheers,
                   -Tristan
