Actually the problem comes in trying to set the icon later - I declare my buttons in the header: Gtk::Button myButton; then in the constructor I was trying to use myButton.set_label(...) but that method only works for a string so I guess I have to instatiate the button in the constructor declaring the icon. The error was referring to BuiltinStockID which is where I was getting confused - what would be nice is to have a Button::set_Icon(...) or set_label(..) method that would take the stock icon. John
