[Qt-interest] QPushButton - remain down...

[BRM]

Yes, I set the 'setCheckable()'. The normal 'clicked()' signal does tell whether it is checked/unchecked.
Oddly, the QPushButton, QCheckBox, and QToolButton use different signals to generate the same information...

QToolButton is kind of understandable - it's signals with an action; but clicked() versus stateChanged() could probably be reduced.
