Reid - there is an existing Python-based Bitmap Button which works 
fairly well, and I'm sure we could extend it further to add the things 
we need. We're using it in the calendar already (that's what the 
next/back buttons are) - its in wx.lib.buttons.GenBitmapButton
http://svn.osafoundation.org/chandler/trunk/internal/wx/wxPython/wx/lib/buttons.py

The problem with wx.BitmapButton is that it is really (REALLY) 
inconsistent across platforms - its really a piece of junk. On Mac I 
think you get this nasty old-style native 3d border. On Linux you get a 
strange border during hover, and it looks fine on windows. 
GenBitmapButton is identical on all three platforms.
