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. =head1 BUGS Currently B<optionAdd>(I<key> =E<gt> I<value>?, I<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. =head1 SEE ALSO L<Tk::option|Tk::option> =head1 KEYWORDS database, option, priority, retrieve =cut
