[pygtk] image on a Button

Thanks for the answer.

I'm checking the imgFullFile with os.path.exists() before loading it,
so the absolute path of the image is correct.

As img.set_from_file() doesn't raise an exception when it can't load
the file, i've tried with this:

img = gtk.Image()
pixBuf = gtk.gdk.pixbuf_new_from_file(imgFullFile)
img.set_from_pixbuf(pixBuf)
button.set_image(img)

and gtk.gdk.pixbuf_new_from_file() didn't raise an exception, but the
image is still not displayed.

Furthermore, i'm also using an IconView to display the images, and
they are displayed just fine. The code is:
store = gtk.ListStore(str, gtk.gdk.Pixbuf)
for name in xxx:
  pixbuf = gtk.gdk.pixbuf_new_from_file(imgFullFile)
  store.append([name, pixbuf])

So the image loading seems fine but images don't get displayed on the buttons...
