Part of

:help gui-toolbar

1)  If an "icon=" argument was specified, the file with this name is
used.  The file can either be specified with the full path or with the
base name.  In the last case it is searched for in the "bitmaps"
directory in 'runtimepath, like in point 3).  Examples: 

        :amenu icon=/usr/local/pixmaps/foo_icon.xpm ToolBar.Foo :echo "Foo"<CR>
        :amenu icon=FooIcon ToolBar.Foo :echo "Foo"<CR>

If the file cannot be opened the next points are tried.
A space in the file name must be escaped with a backslash.

This is already built-in feature :)

Maybe regular vim icons should be left compiled in and make GNOME2 icons
in menu.vim central file?

As gtk-Gvim is now the only usable (sorry, kvim developers) GUI Vim for
Linux this is not safe bet. I am using Gvim in WindowMaker and use
gapplications really rarely (apart of kvim I prefer kapplications).

What I really want to see are multiple toolbars. But this is probably
many work...
