The various options are not always aligned and grouped in the best way (and
Tk 8.4 widgets are not the fanciest).

Whatever the options layout, what is important is to be able to use Scid on
a screen that is 600 height (I bought a Netbook two days ago :-) ).

Tab = extra options
   Sub Frame = batch annotations
       ....
   Sub Frame = Verbosity
        option  full line
        option  NAG only
        .....
This makes sense for me, and is user friendly.
