Given that I picked the page names without discussion, as part of quickly writing and merging the switch to Notebook (PR (to unblock the FontPage and GenPage conversion), I considered them subject to possible revision.  I expect to review both the internal names and the tab labels *after* adding options from the 'extensions'.

I have considered calling the class MainPage, as it governs the options in config-main other than the font, highlight, and keys choices.  (As noted before, the tab space setting would fit better on this page.)

Given that you have seen and used the dialog and its five tabs, is 'genpage' in the sequence 'fontpage, highpage, keyspage, genpage, extpage', which occurs 3 times in create_widgets(), really ambiguous to *you*?  Or do you just not like it? Would you prefer MainPage?
