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.

Thanks for the explanations and sorry for taking a bit to respond. So where are gretl's custom icons located, and where do they come from? If you want, I can help compile a set of icons for a more consistent look across systems.
