self.image = PhotoImage(file='foo.gif')
self.button = Button(frame, image=self.image)

Better not to specify an explicit width or your image may be truncated.

And do put the instance of PhotoImage in an attribute. The button does not 
keep a reference on its image, so if you do something like:

img = PhotoImage(file='foo.gif')
self.button = Button(frame, image=img)
img = None

the image won't show at all: the first line sets one reference on the image 
(the instance of PhotoImage), the second line doesn't add any, and the 
third line loses the reference => the image is garbage collected.
