the pixmap stuff should work, but GtkImages viewing GdkPixbufs are much
easier.  this is a Gtk+ 2.x change, not merely a gtk2-perl change.


  $button = Gtk2::Button->new;
  $image = Gtk2::Image->new_from_file ($filename);
  $button->add ($image);

or

  $button = Gtk2::Button->new;
  eval {
    $pixbuf = Gtk2::Gdk::Pixbuf->new_from_file ($filename);
    $image = Gtk2::Image->new_from_pixbuf ($pixbuf);
    $button->add ($image);
  };
  if ($@) {
      warn "couldn't load $filename: $@";
      $button->set_text ("something");
  }

and even better yet, using stock icons

  $image = Gtk2::Image->new_from_stock ('gtk-ok')


see
