it certainly is possible, though it can be quite a bit more work. you
need to use gtk_widget_shape_combine_mask() together with a
GtkEventBox as the underlying widget type. getting full GtkButton
semantics from this is hard, but if you want something that responds
with generic (ie. button_press, button_release) events, its not that
bad.
