[Glade-users] Right way to do custom icons?

[Tristan Van Berkom]

Use GtkIconFactory / stock property for the said button.

Glade 3.6 with GtkBuilder lets you define the icon factory (and icon
sources) in Glade.

I will release 3.6 on monday (GNOME 2.26 deadline), regardless of the few
annoying bugs I really didnt find time to fix yet.

Cheers,
                 -Tristan
