Try what Tim suggested. It will produce the effect you want.
(mode = TRUE => check/radio button indicator
        FALSE => normal full sized button)

Not easily. There were some gaping inconsistancies in the way things
used to be handled which caused some strange effects. Currently,
the appearance of a widget is determined solely by widget->state,
which can be GTK_STATE_ACTIVE or GTK_STATE_INSENSITIVE, but
not both.
