It seems to me that this is a problem with radio buttons being used in the wrong place and/or the wrong way.

Checkboxes should be used for lists in which several items can be selected/active. Radio buttons, on the other hand, should toggle the selected/active item so that only one can be "on" at a given time.

Kenneth, doesn't look at the specific case reported in the screenshot. GTK lets you mark a radio button as "undefined". ubuntulooks draws such a radio button in a wrong way. It seems a bug to me :)
