Dear Peter, Thanks for the explanation.
Is there a reason that there's no (unthemed) tkspinbox() in tclctk, defined as tkspinbox <- function(parent, ...) tkwidget(parent, "spinbox", ...) ? I noticed this quite some time ago (and probably should have mentioned it earlier). I define tkspinbox() in this manner in the Rcmdr package.
