Hi,

maybe your problem was solved meanwhile, but if not I've got an idea about it. 
I think you have to adapt the framework used in the widgets.py defining the 
class CheckButtons. There one connects the button_press_event to a method 
_clicked and in this method it is checked wheter or not the click was inside 
the area associated with the label
t.get_window_extent().contains(event.x, event.y)

I admit my late reply, but maybe it is useful anyway.

Kind regards,
Matthias
