Yes, quite possibly. You want to look at cartctl.cpp, cartprov.cpp for the
button rendering stuff. I would not, however, go straight to gtk, but
instead use wxWidgets own rendering classes; this would make it render
buttons on Windows through Windows, and on the Mac through the native
Mac stuff. I warn you it is not simple, though, hence my original
cop-out (partly because wxWidgets didn't implement all the rendering
stuff to begin with).
