        oh yes. actually u can emit a button_press and button_release signal
        but following should work except that queue_draw may not update
        your ui as u are in the event dispatch thread till ur function
        completes

        gtk_widget_set_state (GTK_WIDGET (button), GTK_STATE_NORMAL);
        gtk_widget_queue_draw (GTK_WIDGET (button));

        // ur implementation here

        gtk_widget_set_state (GTK_WIDGET (button), GTK_STATE_NORMAL);
        gtk_widget_queue_draw (GTK_WIDGET (button));
