To be more specific if you have a button with both an image and a label
then the child widget will be a GtkAlignment which in turn will have a
GtkBox with the actual label and image as its child widget.

Now if you just want to set the alignment you can do that directly, just
get the GtkAlignment and set it with gtk_widget_set_halign() and
gtk_widget_set_valign().
