Hmm, I see what you mean.  The real problem is that standard gtk
checkboxes aren't really the visually appropriate design here.  Just for
an experiment, I've coded an alternative, using button reliefs.  It's the
sort of thing that most GUI-texts say never to do, and I'm tending to
reject it, but here it is anyway (the code for it still needs cleaning up
-- I'll only bother if this idea is worth progressing with).

If you *don't* consider sharing information to be morally equivalent to 
kidnapping and murder on the high seas, you probably shouldn't use the
phrase "software piracy."
