Hi Lars,

One way to create the button with your picture and without border is to 
write sompething like :

GtkWidget *create_button(const gchar *image_name)
{
       GtkWidget       *button;
       GtkWidget       *image;
       GdkPixbuf       *pixbuf;
       gint            xsize, ysize;

       image = gtk_image_new_from_file(image_name);

       pixbuf  = gtk_image_get_pixbuf(GTK_IMAGE(image));
       xsize   = gdk_pixbuf_get_width(pixbuf);
       ysize   = gdk_pixbuf_get_height(pixbuf);

       button  = gtk_button_new();
       gtk_container_set_border_width(GTK_CONTAINER(button), 0);
       gtk_widget_set_size_request(GTK_WIDGET(button), xsize, ysize);
       gtk_container_add(GTK_CONTAINER(button), image);

       /* Connect the button to the event you like ... */

       gtk_widget_show(image);
       gtk_widget_show(button);

       return button;
}

Hope it helps,
