If your needs are standard enough (I'm dont think you can get scaling
except for some default useful sizes) then you can use GtkIconFactory;
install different sources for different button states/sizes, and assign the
button the stock id you created in your factory, I think this is
probably easiest.

Note that you will also be able to do this without code using
GtkBuilder and Glade in GNOME 2.26.
