I tried using both the button's label and image. However, it always appeared to want to push the image to one side of the button, and push the label to the other side of the button. I was not able to find a way to overlay the label on top of the button image.
Using gtk_button_set_image is like setting the image to be
the "item" of the button, a button can not have more than one item.
You want to set the graphical state of the button, for this you'll
need to use the theme engine, see:
http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/gtk-Resource-Files.html
(you can probably find examples, maybe tutorials if you grep the
internet a little further).

PS: Generally, your button theme entry will look something like this:
