It did, and didn't.... I've got GTK+ 1.2 and 2.0 both installed on my
machine, and wasn't really thinking too clearly when I tried to install
the new "theme" I'd created. I typically use gtk-theme-selector to
install gtk themes. It kept crashing as I tried to install the new one,
and so I started using it on the command-line, where it kept telling me
it didn't understand the "stock" element... I _knew_ that it was writing
to .gtkrc, but hadn't considered that I really needed to be loading the
theme into .gtkrc-2.0... oops. 

Once I added the line:
    include "/home/matthew/.themes/mytheme/gtk/gtkrc"
into .gtkrc-2.0, everything worked great.

Maybe this information could go into an FAQ, along with the list of
stock items and what they correspond to on the ROX toolbar...? I'd be
happy to provide the information, now that I've figured it out.
