mainStack scripts, now Windows??

[xbury.cs at clearstream.com]

Try to remove the traversal=ON from most menus and buttons - it just

Also, test your apps on windows 2000 AND XP where the themes will change 
teh geometry of
buttons, appearance of groups, and possibly more...

Just my two cents... Please vote for all windows issues in bugzilla too ;)

cheers
