ok thanks for checking that

But i think there is another problem here, i don't think it will work on a  
stock button because that uses a HBox internally to pack the icon and the  
label. (not that i think that many people will want to change a stock  
button)
I don't know this for a fact but i'm assuming that this internal HBox  
doesn't derive from Gtk::Container but from its C counterpart GtkContainer  
so for this to work i think it should be changed in gtk+.

Does anybody know if this has ever been discussed in gtk+ ?
