I guess that it is being present in Gtk+ that makes them "stock".

Would it not be better to figure out a set of named icons that either can be 
used on both KDE and Gnome (I guess this is what Tango is about) or add a KDE 
specific set of names to Emacs?  Users can then select to use the KDE names if 
they run KDE.
