On Linux the GTK3 UX approach has been to remove stock icons from many
places, including buttons. You will be hard pressed to find icons in
buttons in up-to-date native GTK/GNOME apps. I'm not a fan of adding icons
to dialog buttons, because on Linux (and Windows it seems) it will look out
of place. In general I'd suggest removing as many buttons as possible, and
replacing them with more intuitive solutions -- for example: inline editing
vs. an "edit" button with a popup dialog. IMO this is far cleaner and
provides a bigger UX benefit in the long run.
