Hello.
Short question: How can I register a new stock item?
I found a description how I can register a new item in the
pygtk2reference.
<from reference>
gtk.stock_add
   def gtk.stock_add(items)
items :
a list or tuple containing 5-tuples
of stock items
The gtk.stock_add() function registers each of the stock items in the
list or tuple specified by items. The stock items are specified by a 5-
tuple containing:
     * stock_id - a string identifier
     * label - a string to use for a label
     * modifier - a modifier mask (see the get_state() method for more
       detail on modifiers)
     * keyval - an integer key value (see gtk.gdk.Keymap) Together with
       the modifiers specifies an accelerator.
     * translation_domain - a string identifier of a translation domain
If an item already exists with the same stock ID as one of the items,
the old item gets replaced.
</from reference>
And this is my test.
event1 = gtk.gdk.Event(gtk.gdk.KEY_PRESS)
gtk.stock_add(('gtk-current', '_Current', gtk.gdk.Event.get_state(event1), 99, 
'gtk20'))
or
gtk.stock_add(('gtk-current', '_Current', gtk.gdk.Event.get_state
(gtk.gdk.CONTROL_MASK), 99, 'gtk20'))
But nothing of this is working.
I'am sure that the gtk.stock_add() function is correct. But I think that
I don't understand gtk.gdk.Event.get_state().
As you surely can see my English is bad. This is possibly the reason
wherefore I doesn't understanding gtk.gdk.Event.get_state().
 

Your confusion is a result of confusing documentation. The third item in 
the 5-tuple should be composed from the Modifier Constants:
http://www.pygtk.org/pygtk2reference/gdk-constants.html#gdk-modifier-constants
to indicate which additional key(s) (if any) should be pressed in 
addtion to the keyval key e.g. 'Control'
