[Cuis-dev] Pluggable button with icon

[Juan Vuletich]

I can't run that, because I don't have the context.

If I create a button with similar code, and open it, I see that by 
default it is quite small. It looks fine if I enlarge it. So, I guess 
the solution is to give it whatever extent you want.

I also see that #minimumExtent tries to be enough for at least some text 
to be visible, if ther is a label. If there's no label, #minimumExtent 
is really small. I can modify it to make it somewhat larger, but I can't 
guarantee it is the proper size for the use you are doing of it. Only 
you (I mean the programmer of the code using the button) can know and 
set that.

Hope this helps.
