This is determined by the theme the user selects; some themes, for
example, the MacOS theme, have rounded buttons. You should not hard code
it in your program and Gtk deliberately prevents you from doing so.

If you really need to have rounded buttons, your options are to write a
new button widget (99% copied from the existing one probably), or ship a
special theme with your app.
