Do we really have a "B" that means "Bishop"? Where is that?
I am aware of a "B" for "Blue", however. This is ignored in the GTK build,
(which now uses the GTK color picker), so it only appears in the Xaw build.

I guess I will just change the one used in the GTK version into "B (bold)",
and intercept it after translation of button labels to strip off the " 
(bold)".
