See the comments under the question "When do I call flush(), 
forceRefresh(), refresh() and update() after a change?" in the FOX FAQ 
list, found here:

     http://www.fox-toolkit.org/faq.html

I am guessing that you at least want to add a call to FXApp#flush after 
the first change (i.e. to the "pressed" state) so that it gets repainted 
immediately.

Hope this helps,
