I use something like this:

class NotebookTabLabel(gtk.HBox):
    '''Notebook tab label with close button.
    '''
    def __init__(self, on_close, owner_):
        gtk.HBox.__init__(self, False, 0)
        
        label = self.label = gtk.Label()
        label.set_alignment(0.0, 0.5)
        self.pack_start(label)
        label.show()
        
        close_image = gtk.image_new_from_stock(gtk.STOCK_CLOSE, gtk.ICON_SIZE_MENU)
        image_w, image_h = gtk.icon_size_lookup(gtk.ICON_SIZE_MENU)
        
        close_btn = gtk.Button()
        close_btn.set_relief(gtk.RELIEF_NONE)
        close_btn.connect('clicked', on_close, owner_)
        close_btn.set_size_request(image_w+2, image_h+2)
        close_btn.add(close_image)
        self.pack_start(close_btn, False, False)
        close_btn.show_all()
        
        self.show()

tl = NotebookTabLabel(
    lambda *args: self.owner.on_tab_close_doc(*args),
    self )

I hacked this down from something fancier, but I think it's still all there.
