The program I'm writing has to drive two motors by the value of
"hscales". The user can toggle the active motor and hscale and this has
to be clearly visible. The definition of "clearly visible" is set to red
or green background for active and passive state.

My solution was to put it into the .rc and switch via the name of the
hscale widget.

   6) Klingon function calls do not have 'parameters'
      - they have 'arguments'
   4) A TRUE Klingon Warrior does not comment his code!
   3) Klingon Software does NOT have BUGS. It has
