Currently these options are restricted so they can only be used when the 
widget is first constructed.  This makes it hard to move a widget 
subtree from one place to another and back.  I suppose this could be 
made to work. 

I've also had confusing problems with focus when using -container/-use.  
The [winfo toplevel] of the -use widget is not the [winfo toplevel] of 
the -container and this is important to restoring focus.
