UI advice: use gnome icons on Windows?

Hello folks, Err... actually i don't know if this post should go to this forum or the Java one... well, here it is... I'm writing this Java application using the Swing toolkit, and i've got a doubt about a UI thing: I'm developing it under Linux, but i want to be able to run it on Windows too. So i've put some Gnome stock icons on it (like, icons for ok/cancel buttons), to give it a better gnomeish-look... but, do you think i should remove those icons when running it under Windows? Or should i just leave it with the Gnome icons and that's not a problem? (it's a shame Windows has so few stock icons). Thanks, Victor.

Because it would be bad usability-wise? Having an application running under Windows with the looks of another enviroment?

Look at Dev-C++. *shrugs*

Nothing wrong with that.
