[Glade-users] would like a stock button without the text (GtkButton), or a stock GtkToolButton that gets button-pressed-event

[Gergely Polonkai]

Hello,

you’re welcome.

On a side note, could you elaborate on why you need the button-pressed
event instead of clicked? Just out of curiosity, as I rarely see valid use
cases for this signal (and because I prefer using GtkActions).

Best,
Gergely
