"View code" is mapped to GTK_STOCK_PROPERTIES and "Execute" is
mapped to GTK_STOCK_EXECUTE. These make sense to me. If the
icons you're seeing don't convery the expected sense, file a bug
report for the GTK theme you're using. (Here, using the base GTK
icons, I get a cogwheel for Execute and what looks like a spanner
for View code.)

The installed GTK theme must be specifying no icons in menus.
Nothing gretl can do about that.
of course

Yes, I suppose it should (for the sake of discrete distributions).
yes; I will try to correct that together with the other doc change
regarding ox compilation that's still on my to-do-list (since I normally
don't mess with gretl's cvs files apart from de.po I want to do it
properly when I'm not in a rush)

Yes. Won't fix. Either don't put dots into filenames, or give
the full name with ".inp" extension.
fair enough

I'll try to get to that.
I will enter it in the feature request tracker

And that one is on my agenda too.
will enter into bug tracker

Can't do anything without a case in point.
sure, will try to provide a minimal example (haven't succeeded so far,
but haven't followed up on the underscore hunch either)

Both of the above are on the agenda.

That too.
will enter into bug tracker
Thanks!
