Creating a rectangular icon

[Antony Loebs]

 I have been trying to figure out how to display a rectangular image in the
panel to use as a button. The image itself is 30x120, but I can't get it to
display to my satisfaction. If I use IconWidget, the image is squashed into
a square. If I use PushButton, the image is likewise squashed by the
button's borders. I tried changing the stylesheet for the button, setting
margin and padding to 0, but with no success. Below is the sample code (the
PushButton code is commented out).

from PyQt4.QtCore import *
from PyQt4.QtGui import *
from PyKDE4.plasma import Plasma
from PyKDE4 import plasmascript

class PanelButton(plasmascript.Applet):
    def __init__(self,parent,args=None):
        plasmascript.Applet.__init__(self,parent)

    def init(self):
        self.setAspectRatioMode(Plasma.KeepAspectRatio)
        # No configuration interface supported
        self.setHasConfigurationInterface(False)
        self.theme = Plasma.Svg(self)
        self.theme.setImagePath("widgets/background")
        self.setBackgroundHints(Plasma.Applet.DefaultBackground)

        self.layout = QGraphicsLinearLayout(Qt.Horizontal, self.applet)

        #self.button = Plasma.PushButton(self.applet)
        #self.button.setImage(self.package().path() +
"contents/images/image.png")
        #self.button.setStyleSheet = ("margin: 0px; padding: 0px;")
        #self.connect(self.button, SIGNAL("clicked()"), self.notify)

        self.button = Plasma.IconWidget(self.applet)
        self.button.setIcon(self.package().path() +
"contents/images/image.png")
        self.connect(self.button, SIGNAL("clicked()"), self.notify)

        self.layout.addItem(self.button)
        self.applet.setLayout(self.layout)
        self.resize(120, 30)

    def notify(self):
        pass

def CreateApplet(parent):
    return PanelButton(parent)
