- Is it just me, or is the way options work in Tk really strange? The
- manpage and the FAQ don't do much to reassure me. For instance, why
- does an entry of "*Font: fixed" in an .Xdefaults override "option add
- Tk*Foo*Font variable startupFile"? If one replaces startupFile with
- userDefault, the variable font wins, but then the user can't override
- in their defaults file. Moreover, why does one always need the leading
- Tk, even when the application's class has been set to something else?
