	I have to agree also. Believe me, the last thing that  want to see is
the Windows-ization of gtk (kde has that area covered) but the motif
style checkbuttons and radiobuttons just do not have enough contrast for

and kids still have trouble with them after a couple of years of using
Linux almost exclusively.
