no question that the windows and aqua approaches to font chooser  
interaction are diametrically opposed, but I don't a priori see why  
the pure-tcl font chooser should be restricted to work only one way  
or the other, my proposal allows for both a modal and a modeless font  
chooser and I can imagine both being useful on X11.

I still haven't heard any specific criticism about my proposed  
alternate API, what exactly do people think is awkward/wrong about it?

Cheers,

Daniel
