Actually, I had tried both, and the recommended macro GTK_STOCK_CLOSE.

This was the problem. It seems gtk 2.20 sets the option to "no icons" by
default and older versions (used in the tutorials etc) did not. The
fedora Preferences/Appearance settings don't provide a way to alter
this. gconf-editor got it sorted.
