I'll suggest for uniformity that you only allow stock icons:
http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/2.21/gtk-Stock-Items.html
and default to the stock text.

Maybe it would be easier (or more uniform with gD core) to implement this
like in utils/dialog.py.

Sounds good.  That or the index of the button in the list provided.

Maybe too complicated for the average developer, but I imagine you'll have a
good way of documenting it in the develbook (so I'm not set on you
implementing this for the first time around) :)

Good work, I'm looking forward to using it.
