>From the manpage:
       --window-icon=ICONPATH
              Set  the  window  icon with the path to an image. Alternatively,
              one of the four stock icons can be used: 'error', 'info', 'ques‐
              tion' or 'warning'

In fact, the list of valid stock icons comes from libnotify, and can be
found in the freedesktop.org specifications at:
http://standards.freedesktop.org/icon-naming-spec/icon-naming-spec-latest.html

The 'error' value seems to be mapped to dialog-error, but none of the other
stock icon names in the manpage seem to work (a default / fallback icon is
used), while their dialog-foo counterpart does.  I spot checked several
other stock icons (using the --notification mode) from the freedesktop.org
spec, and all of them worked too.
