NAME
Tk::Xrm - X Resource/Defaults/Options routines that obey the rules.
SYNOPSIS
use Tk;
use Tk::Xrm;
DESCRIPTION
Using this modules causes Tk's Option code to be replaced by versions
which use routines from <X11/Xresource.h> - i.e. same ones every other
X toolkit uses.
Result is that "matching" of name/Class with the options database
follows the same rules as other X toolkits. This makes it more
predictable, and makes it easier to have a single ~/.Xdefaults file
which gives sensible results for both Tk and (say) Motif applications.
BUGS
Currently optionAdd(key => value?, priority?) ignores optional priority
completely and just does XrmPutStringResource(). Perhaps it should be
more subtle and do XrmMergeDatabases() or XrmCombineDatabase().
This version is a little slower than Tk's re-invention but there is
more optimization that can be done.
