Are all the widgets in this list the same type? What type are they?
Are they toggle buttons? (created with gtk_toggle_button_new() or
similar?) Or are they radio buttons? Or, if they are a new type defined
by you, what widget are they sub-classed from?
gtk_toggle_button_set_active(GTK_TOGGLE_BUTTON(buttons[n]), myboolean);
...should be all you need. in fact, it's possible that setting the
"button_down" and "active" properties directly is what's screwing things
up.
I assume you're calling gtk_widget_show() on these buttons before this
code is running. The buttons are visible, right?
Do you have "toggled" a signal handler connected to these buttons? In
that signal handler, do you activate or de-activate any buttons in the
array that did not receive the signal? If yes, you'll probably want to
block the signal before calling the .._set_active() function.
(I'm kind of grasping at straws if you can't tell. There are a lot of
possibilities.)
