There's no special container responsible for that, this is the way
your current theme (Clearlooks, right?) draws button's internals. The
partial solution is to use a little hack to avoid default theme, like
this:

-- C
GtkStyle *style;
GtkWidget *button;

button = gtk_button_new_with_label ("the bad bad button");
style = gtk_style_copy (button->style);
gtk_widget_set_style (button, style);
g_object_unref (style);
C --
