I'm using Python 2.7.2 and wxPython 2.8.12.1 on Arch Linux x86_64.
Official documentation for wxArtProvider says "When running under GTK+
2, GTK+ stock item IDs (e.g. "gtk-cdrom") may be used as well.
Additionally, if wxGTK was compiled against GTK+ >= 2.4, then it is
also possible to load icons from current icon theme by specifying
their name (without extension and directory components). Icon themes
recognized by GTK+ follow the freedesktop.org Icon Themes
specification. Note that themes are not guaranteed to contain all
icons, so wxArtProvider may return wxNullBitmap or wxNullIcon. Default
theme is typically installed in /usr/share/icons/hicolor."
However, after an extensive research, I've not been able to find how
exactly I can use icons from GTK themes by specifying their name: can
somebody paste or point me to a working example or to specific
instructions?
Especially I don't get the "by specifying their name" part: specifying
it _where_?

Thank you so much! It was so easy in the end... There's not even need
for extending wxArtProvider
I had even tried that solution, but I never used wxArtProvider before
and I was stupidly setting the Bitmap for the MenuItem _after_
Appending it to the menu, that's why it wasn't working ^^'

Instead of the name of the stock art provider resource. For example:
