Fixed in CVS. I greatly simplified the code, should be quite working now.
The only outstanding issue (documented in unit header) is with
reparenting, i.e. when parent is changed, it still acts as belonging
to the old group.

This one is very easy to fix (one has to hook to widget parent-set
signal of radio widget, and reset its group for new parent - code similar
to when widget is created, quite simple as GTK takes care about most of
the work), but I'll leave it as an excersice to reader - good starting
point to get yourself into Lazarus component programming for GTK interface!
