No easy way, at least not that I'm aware of.  You can write your own
container that would place the labels at the same level as children
of buttons (i.e. button's labels).  A simpler solution is to change
alignments of the labels with gtk_misc_set_alignment(), but that
depends on font, its size, widget style etc. and is generally ad-hoc.

The most obvious solution is to change border width of the buttons:

        gtk_container_set_border_width(GTK_CONTAINER(button),
                                       SOME_EXTRA_PADDING);
