You can get a copy from:
    http://icon-theme.freedesktop.org/releases

hicolor is in the .../gtk/inst/share/icons directory... but it seems like it is 
ignored.

If I install the hicolor theme to /usr/local/share, then this message goes away 
but the icons are still missing.

Anyone have any hints as to how I can get the icons back?


sounds like this bug:
https://gramps-project.org/bugs/view.php?id=7356

cheers,
Waider.

Thanks for the link.  I have read all of the comments there and perused the 
documentation cited.  It is an interesting academic discussion... but I do not 
see clearly how I can edit my code to adjust to the new reality of the 
deprecated GTK stock items.  SInce I am working with gtkmm code, it is one 
level of abstraction above the GTK+ code.  So what do I do with lines like:
Gtk::MessageDialog dialog("Dialog message", FALSE, Gtk::MESSAGE_WARNING, 
Gtk::BUTTONS_CLOSE);
to get a warning icon to appear in the dialog box?  Any further hints?
I'm actually trying to figure that out now. In the case of the Gramps bug, most 
of the icons do appear. At the moment I'm working the angle that there are some 
icons which are provided by some other package besides hicolor-icon-theme; 
gnome-icon-theme seems a strong possiblity.

I checked on installations of my program on various MAC OS versions. Code that was compiled last year on a MAC LION OS using gtk-osx that had the gtk stock items, displays the dialog-warning icon. When I search for the icon image on the machine where the program was compiled, I find it in .../gtk/source/gtk+-3.0/gtk/stock-icons/48/dialog-warning.png and nowhere else. If I move the compiled code to a MAC MOUNTAIN LION machine the icon also displays but that machine does not have a copy of the dialog-warning.png file anywhere that I can find. Do icon images go into a database or something??? On a linux (Ubuntu OS) using the high contrast theme, the icon that displays is the one that is identical to that found at /usr/share/icons/HighContrast/48x48/status/dialog-warning.png. The compiled code on Ubuntu is that which was compiled today with updated Ubuntu packages (not sure if stock items are there or not).

What I find strange is that on a MAC machine (Mavericks) with the hicolor theme installed, my code gives no error message about missing dialog-warning image.. But the icon image is still a red X instead of the correct image.

Hope some of this is helpful...
