Dear Mark,

I fixed the font<- method to work with buttons:

font(button) <- c(color="red", style="bold")

should work after the button is constructed. The new version was just uploaded
to CRAN.

I don't really support themes within gWidgets, but this may not be the most
standard way of indicating to the user some value has changed.

Hope that helps,

John
