I was never able to get this working correctly.  It's all moot, since this
ability is explicitly not supported under XView.

You can attach an event proc to a button, and you will receive events like
PANEL_BEGIN_PREVIEW and PANEL_CANCEL_PREVIEW.  This signify the various
states of the button click sequence.  You can do whatever you want to
modify the button appearance when you receive these events.  Look at the
manual section about panels, and look at the code in calctool to see how
this is done.
