I think you mean to say "the nice System.Windows.Forms way of doing
things..." and Gtk# differs from SWF in several fundamental ways.

Already said that I think it's dubious to set a button label string
after construction.  The above customization is dubious also in that
there is no guarantee that a button has a Label.  Button is just a bin
container with built-in click handling.

Yeah, there's a wishlist bug already open for data binding to Gtk#
widgets.  Your help on this at a more appropriate point from an API
stability perspective will be much appreciated.  This may be a post-1.0
Gtk# feature at this point though.
