if you build your own button, then you're on your own since there are
many ways you might implement the button.

if you use a GtkWidget, or more precisely, a GtkButton, then:

   gtk_widget_set_sensitive (GTK_WIDGET(the_button), TRUE);  /* enabled */
   gtk_widget_set_sensitive (GTK_WIDGET(the_button), FALSE); /* disabled */
