Default values

  Default values may be given to a widget, i.e. a CheckBox may be turned on as default instead of turn of.

These default values shall be considered as the values which is set, when the user resets a page, and NOT as a way to give a fancy setup!

Default values for ExtEntries should only be given in the case that the ExtEntry have a -maxentries switch.

In case that a widgets is located inside an other (i.e. a CheckBox located inside an ExtEntry), and the outer have a default value, this default value is split up and given to its children. In this process Frames and Windows are transparent, i.e. if a CheckBox and an Entry is located inside a Window, which again is located inside another widget, the default for the CheckBox and the Entry is given as if they were a direct decscendant to the outer widget. If the default for an outer widget doesn't contain information for an inner one, then the default value given to the inner one is use.
