I'm sure this came up recently here... or was it on the GnuPic list? 
Anyway, config.h is normally generated by the configure script (though I 
have a feeling the autotools setup on that ZIP is incomplete). If you're 
using mingw you should make an empty one or put in any option #defines 
you need (probably none in this case).

Again I mentioned that in another thread not long ago. Yes, it's very 
like a button, except that it's explicitly never sensitive to user 
input. I wanted a simple state indicator, like an LED on a piece of 
hardware, that wouldn't get highlighted when you hover over it. Merely 
setting a button "insensitive" prevents its use for anything, so I made 
the lamp widget.
