I'm basically fine with ensuring that things that look like toggle
buttons behave like toggle buttons.  Although I'm a tad concerned we
might be patching things up to cope with a somewhat idiosyncratic use of
standard widgets (splitting a single radio button group over multiple
notebook tabs)... if real toggle buttons don't do what Damon wanted, we
should probably have spent some time fixing those instead  :)

Cheeri,
