When I do that it shows that all the icon files are from etc/images in
the Emacs source tree and are xpm files.  However, the icons actually
displayed are the same as in screenshots John Muhl posted, except that I
also have an icon for the `dired' command.  This icon is located at
/usr/share/icons/gnome/24x24/places/folder.png (or possibly a different
size) on my system.  The other icons (which are the same as in John's
screenshots) are located under /usr/share/icons/Adwaita/symbolic here;
there is also an icon there that looks similar to the folder.png icon
used for `dired' but matches the look of the other icons, so I wonder
why Emacs uses an icon from a different set of icons in this case.  My
system is GNU/Linux with the Gtk3 toolkit and Xfce4 desktop.  It seems
that the Gtk3 build overrides the icons provided by Emacs, but not in a
completely consistent way.
