Grungy?? That's just the way scroll bars work. I was raised on the Mac, 
where consistency was valued. And in this case win32 bars work the same.

I would use multiple inheritance and avoid the complexification of 
adding a whole new mechanism. The Cello GUI hierarchy, for example, has 
radio-button-ness as a mixin, so it can be a check box, bullet, or even 
a pushbutton (that stays in while selected, like a real car radio button 
back in the day.) Of course Garnet is not CLOS, so interactors are 
probably a very nice substitute.
