Thank you for installing good features.  The Gnome icons work
fine so far (they look to me somewhat gaudy, though I will get
used to them sooner or later ;-).

However, the default retro icons didn't appear in the toolbars.
I've modified icon files specified in `gnus-group-tool-bar-retro'
and `gnus-summary-tool-bar-retro' so that they might be under
the "gnus/" subdirectory.  Is it a proper change?  I didn't
touch `message-tool-bar-retro' since there're no retro icons for
the message-mode.

In addition, there was another problem.  I don't customize
`gmm-image-load-path' (because its docstring doesn't begin with
"*") but add the proper image path to `image-load-path' as
follows:

(push "/usr/local/share/emacs/etc/images/" image-load-path)

However, `gmm-image-load-path' was set to
"/usr/local/share/emacs/etc/images/gnus/".  I've fixed the
`gmm-image-load-path' function so as to remove subdirectories
which the second argument `image' might have.  The reason that I
need to modify `image-load-path' is that I use the configure
options

 --with-lispdir=/usr/local/share/emacs/EMACS-VERSION/site-lisp/gnus
 --with-etcdir=/usr/local/share/emacs/etc

when installing Gnus.  So, the icon files are installed under
the "/usr/local/share/emacs/etc/images/" directory, not the
"/usr/local/share/emacs/EMACS-VERSION/site-lisp/gnus/../../etc/images"
directory.  I also added "/usr/local/share/emacs/etc/images/" to
`load-path' for Emacs 21.

I think making the new feature the default is a good idea.
