that displays it correctly, but now it doesn't expand or contract at all
horizontally. It does expand and contract vertically, however. What should I
add so that the height and the width of the image scale relative to each
other?

When I do that, I get a big red button with a white X. (This is using
4.4.1-0ubuntu1 on Kubuntu Lucid, just upgraded today.)

Also, I still can't get clicks on the label to register with
self.connect(self.button, SIGNAL("linkActivated()"), self.notify)
Any hints?

Thanks in advance!
