There's a very good example of how to use pixmaps in buttons in
gtk/testgtk.c.  Look at the create_pixmap() function; the relevant
part is around line 540.  You have to create separate GdkPixmaps for
each of the possible states of the button, and later you squish them
together into a pixmap widget.
