First get your image:
http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/GtkImage.html#gtk-image-new-from-stock

In GTK+ 2.6 you can use:
http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/GtkButton.html#gtk-button-set-image

In 2.4 I guess you can simply:

button = gtk_button_new ();
image  = gtk_image_new_from_stock (...);
gtk_container_add (GTK_CONTAINER (button), image);

Cheers,
