I'm no authority on these things, but I think that there is no such a thing
as a set of Linux icons. The icons gretl uses are the standard ones in the
theme you choose, at least I think this is the way Gnome works. Not sure
about KDE or other graphical environments.
That's right. In fact gretl uses a mix of icon sources:
whenever there's a suitable "GTK stock icon" for a given role,
we use it; if there's nothing suitable in GTK we add our own
icon. And whenever we use a GTK stock icon the actual image
that appears is governed by the GTK theme in force. That can
vary across Linux distros, and is also typically settable by
the user.
