OK, I will try this out on Windows shortly. If I can reproduce it and 
it's a FOX bug, I'll need to forward this to Jeroen and see what can be 
done. If it's in the FXRuby layer, I will get it on our bug list and 
schedule it for the next release.

Could you maybe submit a feature request to the project at SourceForge:

	http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=20243&atid=370243

and provide some more details about what might be appropriate default 
values?

Yes, I agree. I've already added this feature request to the 
aforementioned list, but if you'd like to tack on some comments to that 
entry about a useful format, etc. please feel free.

Sorry about that. No one else has mentioned this to me in the last 
three years, and I didn't realize there was a problem. ;)

... and thank you very much for taking time to report the problems and 
make suggestions.
