have you tried silly obvious things like hiding the button before showing the
frame?  this order-of-operations type stuff can make a difference in how the
layout recalculations happen.

also, can you just change the text in the button rather than hiding it?

but i'm certain that hide and show tricks work, because GnomeDruid does that
for replacing the Next button with Finish, and i used that in one of my apps
to replace a statusbar with a progress meter and cancel button.

i was wondering... :-)

this shouldn't be necessary, because you only get to an idle callback after
all the pending events have been handled.
