Hi David!
Actually, the whole gtk-set needs to get tangofied. It would be great if 
someone would volunteer to fix this before the next gtk-release.
I'm not sure if we can do anything about the current metaphors here, as 
they are wildly misused in ~90% of the applications out there (and some 
actions are rather silly, like gtk-yes and gtk-no).
You can get the whole list of gtk stock actions here:
http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/gtk-Stock-Items.html

The license of this needs to be lgpl, like gtk+ itself.
