But, from the QT Toolkit - QWidget Docs, the very next line reads:

These values may not be used as parameters to setBackgroundMode(). 

If you try what you have suggested, a message is output to the console at runtime saying;
	"May not pass FixedColor or FixedPixmap to setBackgroundMode()"

So....I am assuming that setBackgroundPixmap() is in charge of setting this BackgroundMode to
FixedPixmap.   I too thought that this would be the solution.  It seemed so obvious.

So I'm back to where I was before, not able to get a background pixmap to display on a push button!

BTW, this all occurs within the KDevelop Dialog Editor, KDevelop created and compiled code, as well
as a small, separate from KDevelop, app.

Thanx for the response, though!
