Re: images inside labels

["devel" <devel oberonwireless com>]

Well, I have tried placing an image and a label inside an hbox, but no such 
luck. For some reason, the notebook's tab label is not showing the hbox. Its 
not showing anything, not even the page number. Very certain I am packing 
what and where I need to. Little stumped. Thanks.

gtk_box_pack_start(GTK_BOX (hbox), icon, FALSE, FALSE, 0);
gtk_box_pack_start(GTK_BOX (hbox), label, FALSE, FALSE, 0);
gtk_notebook_append_page(GTK_NOTEBOOK (notebook), scroll, hbox);
