The usual caveat about "you must wait for the main loop to run for  
this to have any visible effect" applies, as the redraw is done in an  
idle.

Also, if your mouse button is sitting inside the button's rectangle  
when the call to set_sensitive() happens, there's a long-standing bug  
that causes the visual update not to happen until you move out and  
come back in.
