I noticed that, for example the the button gud-goto-info used a gtk icon
("gtk-info") even though the "info" icon was specified in gud.el. It's
not a problem, I just wanted to use new ones "gtk-media-record" and
"gtk-media-stop" for a new feature of GDB 7.0 (reversible debugging).

Yes, following Yidong's suggestion, I've done that and it seems to work - thanks.

It would be nice to make Emacs more of a GTK app (fonts don't appear to change
with System->Appearance->Fonts->Application font on Ubuntu) but since Emacs
must run on a wide range of platforms that might not be possible.
