How to get the current range value?

[Jorgen Pehrson <jp spektr ludvika se>]

Hi,
I have a couple of questions..

* how do I read the current value from a scale widget?

* I have an option menu with five items. How do I make the third item the
default? That is, the third item should be selected when the application
starts.

Thanks!
