Oops.  Read the FAQ...

This works fine with standard GTK buttons which is our primary use.
Since the Gnome buttons (dialog included) are stock I assumed you
could not modify them; therefore, requiring us to create new
ones even if all we want to change is the label.  

I'm also wondering if we do need to get access to the stock
Gnome button pixmaps, where can we find them?  I've searched my
installations directories for both xpm and png files to no avail.
Any suggestions?

BTW, I've noticed that that Redhat Linux 6.2 has the 5.5 release of
Glade.  When I went to the Glade download page I didn't see a
Linux OS rpm for the latest version.  Is there a Redhat Linux
rpm for Glade 0.5.11?


Thanks
