I think you'll find that all of the states can be decomposed into the given 
button states.  e.g. popup without mouse entered is the same as flat, popup 
with mouse entered is the same as non-flat, etc.  For our purposes, "System" 
and "Standard" will be the same.  i.e. you need to combine the FlatStyle with 
the current enter/press states to determine the final draw style.

See "ButtonBase.CalculateState" for an example for regular buttons.  You 
should override this method in "CheckBox" to provide the functionality you 
require.

I tested it here on both Xsharp (running under KDE) and .NET, and I see the 
following on both:

1. OnMouseEnter when the mouse enters a button control.
2. OnMouseDown when the mouse button is clicked.
3. OnMouseUp when the mouse button is released.
4. OnMouseLeave when the mouse leaves the button control.

Seems consistent to me.  What window managers are you two using?
