This is partially covered in the FAQ:
2.3 How do I add a pixmap to a button?
Create a button and select 'Remove Label' from the popup menu.
You can then add any widgets you like to the button, e.g. a horizontal
box
with a pixmap and a label inside it. (Glade may make this even easier
in future.)
However, I don't think it is that simple with Gnome dialog buttons.
I'm not sure.
