Well, the reason it uses `category' is because it makes the code simpler. Going through and ensuring that button-face is only ever used as a direct property would be kind of annoying, I think. If you remove the `category' property entirely for buttons (it's buttons that use it), I suspect that the only interesting thing that would be lost would the face the button uses. -Miles -- Occam's razor split hairs so well, I bought the whole argument!
