This was my fault. Sorry about that. :-(

I should have checked the GTK+ version requirements for that stock
item at this page first:
http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/gtk-Stock-Items.html#GTK-STOCK-EDIT:CAPS

Yes, we should just use a different stock item.

While some of the new features in more recent versions would be
interesting, it is probably better to not bump up our requirements
until after Freeciv 2.1 is released. By that time, mainline Linux
distributions will have GTK+ 2.8. Then we can look into moving to GTK+
2.8 and use Cairo for drawing. This would enable us to, among other
things, have map zoom support.
