Just make a regular button and turn off the relief decoration and the border:

        gtk_button_set_relief( GTK_BUTTON( but ), GTK_RELIEF_NONE );
        gtk_container_set_border_width( GTK_CONTAINER( but ), 0 );

No doubt you could do this with a style file too.

Put a GtkImage inside the button and change the graphic to whatever
you want, whenever you want.

You'll still get the mouseover and press effects, but they're rather
useful, I think.
