When I wanted to do that, I ended up resorting to creating my own widget 
(which I called GtkLamp) by copying the GtkButton source and tweaking 
it. That's based on a standard button, but could very easily be turned 
into a CheckLamp. If nobody else comes up with an easier solution I'll 
post my source for you.
