If you wanted to do this, you wouldn't just call gtk_container_add () 
twice -- once for the label and once for the pixmap. Instead, you'd 
create a box, pack the label and the pixmap into the box, and add the box 
into the button.

The button add method is a no-op if the button already contains 
something. However, you can nest things indefinitely in gtk+ by using 
containers, so it's no problem.
