Some time ago I already suggested a yes/no choice. I'm not entirely sure 
about the best UI, but I suppose something like the following is close:

                  +-----------+
                  | Resign BG |
                  +-----------+
       +--------+               +--------+
       | Accept |               | Reject |
       +--------+               +--------+

At least easier to code is only one button/sign. One could implement a left 
click for accept and right for reject. But without explanation hardly 
anybody will guess this. It's everything but intuitive.

For drawing or rather loading an image I had a look at gdk-pixbuf. I don't 
know whether we want to use it because it doesn't come with GTK+ 1.3. There 
is, however, also a version 1.0, but maybe not for Windows. In GTK+ 2.2 for 
Windows there is gdk-pixbuf 2.0. Maybe it's possible to use it together 
with GTK+ 1.3?
