You need to connect the "clicked" signal to some function, like this:
<code>
gtk_signal_connect(GTK_OBJECT(button), "clicked",
        GTK_SIGNAL_FUNC(funce), userData);
</code>

Pennington's book, GTK+/Gnome Application Development, covers this. It's a
free book (as in speech, and as in beer), and is available from
developer.gnome.org. It's a good intro. You can check the gtk+ api reference
at www.gtk.org for more on button signals (or anything else about gtk).
