I have committed the following changes (only in the trunk yet):

	* term/x-win.el (x-gtk-stock-map): Add Gnus and MH-E icons.
	Improve custom type.
	(icon-map-list): Make it customizable.  Document how to disable
	stock icons.

Please take a look if and correct if necessary.  Thanks.

Ah, it's only in the doc string of `icon-map-list' and not
`x-gtk-stock-map'.  To avoid duplication of the description, shouldn't
we describe the format in detail only in the doc string of
`icon-map-list' and refer to it in the doc string of
`x-gtk-stock-map'?

FWIW, removing "etc/" doesn't improve the Gnus tool bars for me.

So it's more or less an implementation detail?  For a user variable,
it would be nicer to make it consistent with
`tool-bar-add-item-from-menu' etc., I think.

Thanks.

Bye, Reiner.
