I'm not entirely sure of what is your problem, but packing a GtkImage
inside a button works just fine in maemo and it won't do any hidden
scaling as long as you don't ask it to AFAIK. Something like:

  image = gtk_image_new_from_file ("foo.png");
  button = gtk_button_new ();
  gtk_container_add (GTK_CONTAINER (button), image);

should work.

Hope it helps,

Cheers Xan
