That rings a bell. From Tor's status website:

http://user.sgic.fi/~tml/gimp/win32/oldstatus-20001007.html

"Stippled GCs now work partially in GDK. The only visible difference in
 GIMP is that guidelines now have the correct appearance. (If you don't
 know what a guideline is, try dragging the mouse out into the image
 from the top and left rulers in an image view.) I will still work on this, to
 make it work correctly with stipples and tiles of any size."

Is it possible to overload the check/radio buttons via rc-file
as well ? This would give me some more time to understand and implement
stipples and tiles ...

There seems to be something to do it in testgtkrc:
========== 
style "toggle_button" = "button"
{
  bg_pixmap[ACTIVE] = "check-y.xpm"
  bg_pixmap[NORMAL] = "check-n.xpm"
}

widget_class "*GtkCheckButton*" style "toggle_button"
widget_class "*GtkRadioButton*" style "toggle_button"
=========
but it appears to be broken on win32 either.

Yeah thanks. Must have done some directory confusion while
checking it out ...
