I think we're confusing each other.  Or maybe the
software's doing it to us both.

It would make sense for the same protocol handler to
manage all the little buttons.  It doesn't, though.
Tk originated historically under X, or, more broadly,
ICCCM.  According to the experts in <URL: http://
wiki.tcl.tk/2267 >, there simply is no cross-platform
definition for much of what's requested.
