I meant give an URL where these icons can be seen.

Yes.  But it would mean having different strategies fro GTK Emacs and 
Emacs compiled without GTK.  Maybe that isn't such a big deal.  I 
suspect users of GTK Emacs would want it to change as the theme 
changes.  If we can agree on Gnome icons, I'm all for it, we can always 
fall back to builtin icons if those aren't available.
