First report is that an NSLog there....  returns nothing, neither when 
starting Ink nor GWorkspace.

Apparently the other branch is used, the "non-keycoding" at line 1886 
and I get a mix of versions 1,2 and 3.
There, I don't fully understand where the values to pe encoded come from.

However, the "look" of the radio button or checkbox looks correct to me, 
only its state is not correctly displayed and it does not appear to be 
in those flags, or am I wrong?
