I got the visual effect I wanted, but I'm surprised at what I had to do.  I 
thought that I should call setAutoRaise(false), then use raise() and 
lower() on the toolbar buttons.  Instead, I find that raise() and lower() 
don't have any obvious effect, but setAutoRaise(false) raises the button 
and setAutoRaise(true) lowers the button.  I'm probably not triggering the 
same effect as you normally get when moving the mouse over a toolbar button 
because the border around my raised buttons is darker.
