You may connect to 'button_release_event' for all buttons. You get the 
actual button clicked as $_[1]->button inside the handler (for some 
reason, they don't do it for the 'clicked' event). You may want to look 
at an applet I've sent a few days ago to the list, Biff.pm, where I do 
the same. You may also find the way I build the config dialog useful 
(using the addConfigItem function).
