wouldn't it in this case be easier to just get the GTK generated stock
icon and hide() it?

Anyway, doing it manually wouldn't really be worth the trouble in my
opinion so I guess we'll go with using icons on buttons for now.  In
general I agree with tigert however that all those icons do more harm
than good, so I would have liked to try doing without and perhaps
providing an example of how this would lead to a more intuitive
interface :)  (Since our aim is to be cross-platform, the problem of
UI-coherence only partially applies to us anyway.)

But whatever...
