Problem is I am not running under GNOME. I have KDE4 installed on my machine and
I'm trying to port the GTK2 app to work with GTK3.
I don't use KDE, but I recommend using Gnome, at least until you're on top of these issues. Read up on the ways of setting your icon theme if you're not going to use Gnome. I don't use Gnome either, by the way ( and so I know what it's like to get gtk+ to play nicely outside it ).
The thing is - I want to have a clean compilation before saying: this
works fine. ;-)
Now, since you mention "best practice", let me ask you - what is it?
Using named icon? If yes - can you throw in some code? I will see if
that will find the icon...
No code at this point, sorry. To be honest, I'm only just barely across icon handling myself. I'm not developing gtk+ stuff full-time any more, and only return to it occasionally ( sadly, usually to see that more stuff has broken ).
Here's part of a response I got a while back when I posted about none of my icons being rendered any more:
---
This whole mess has been deprecated (and rightfully so) because it
makes it impossible to actually determine what will go to the screen
reliably; it was added before we had icon themes, and survived far too
long afterwards.
If you want to use symbolic names for icons, as opposed to loading
assets using GdkPixbuf, you should use the name of the icon in the
icon theme — in this case, 'document-new' instead of 'gtk-new' (which
is the string hiding behind the GTK_STOCK_NEW symbol).
The deprecation notes for each stock item here:
https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/gtk3-Stock-Items.html
And the freedesktop.org icon naming specification here:
http://standards.freedesktop.org/icon-naming-spec/icon-naming-spec-latest.html
Should give you a head start on porting your code and your coding
practices. The Adwaita icon theme (which is used as a template for
most icon themes available these days) contains more icons that you
can use.

Now, I may be able to install GNOME and run it there just to make sure KDE is
out of the picture. ;-)

Yup, I will need it.
Thank you.
