I'm afraid once you start counting outer pixel dimensions of
a button you are creating something that is going to break
whenever Gtk+ theme changes.

But if you want a button w/o any inner border... First, it
should not default, nor focus, because you don't want the
border.  So set its "can-default" and "can-focus" properties
to FALSE.  Then set style properties GtkButton::focus_line_width
and GtkButton::focus_padding to zero.  This can be done e.g.
by assigning the button a widget name and using gtk_rc_parse_string()
... and it was discussed here in details more than one time.
