It seems that if you can get a GC to display the pixbuf on your custom 
button widget, you could simply render the desired caption text on top 
of your image using the same GC. Our point-of-sale application (Windows 
based) is entirely owner drawn, and that is how I handled adding the 
caption to my owner drawn buttons that also featured the two image 
scheme you mention.
