Two potential differences I see between these icons and what we have
in etc/images are:

  . None of the icons in etc/images has size more than 24x24, while
    the images in idlw-toolbar.el are 28x28;

  . I see no stuff like "s backgroundToolBarColor", only "s None", and
    only in 2 icons in etc/images/

Can you see whether one of these differences is the culprit?

Removing "s backgroundToolBarColor" and changing the XPM images to 24 by 24 pixels didn't fix the problem (updated idlw-toolbar.el file attached). I manually edited the XPM images (thank goodness for rectangular cut in emacs!). I think I changed everything correctly. Emacs output the same messages as before when it aborted.
