I think something along the lines of the following added to the wiki would be useful.

To see custom symbols in the GUI, you need to make a thumbnail image with ps.map and inkscape. See gui/symbols/README in the grass source code for a script to do that.

Put the resulting pngs in the same ./gui/images/symbols/ directory structure.

(That is basically the reply given in 2013 which solved my problem)

As far as I can tell, this is the only documentation that exists on adding custom symbols to grass however it fails to mention the need to add png images to their gui/image/symbols directory so that the users can select them from the gui.

Thanks for the hint. Would you be willing to provide an update ?
