[lazarus] updated/mostly working LCL DB test app

[Andrew Johnson]

one field. in the lcl, TSpeedButton.FState was made private in the lcl,
odd as it sounds that 'F' state(which are usually private) is actually a
protected field and almost always required by descendent controls(I have
made a few in delphi so I know). This meant the one error. I changed it
in current cvs saturday, so maybe the snapshot isn't up to date?
