You should not do that. The "$(mime)/" thing is just a trick that may 
not work in the future.

By using Stock[], you depend on 'Application.Theme', which, if not set, 
depends on the current icon set of the current desktop. So the user may 
not see the same icons as you.

To see the same icons, you have to set 'Application.Theme' to 'gambas', 
or a specific icon set name (for example 'breeze'), but then that icon 
set must have been installed by the user.

If you set it to 'gambas' (or 'gambas-mono' for the black & white 
version), you will get the default Gambas icon set stored in 
'gb.form.stock' (the component will be loaded automatically).

Note that you can set 'Application.Theme' to a desktop name (for example 
'gnome'), but then you get the icon set defined by the Gnome desktop, so 
it depends on the user configuration.

To get debugging messages about what happens exactly, you can define the 
'GB_STOCK_DEBUG' environment variable to '1'.
