The options panes in the GIS Manager main window. I just need the code you
use to make mouse wheel bindings work in this area.

We need to standardize on colors and put them in options.tcl. Here is my
suggestion. I'm open to alternatives.

GIS Manager and all window frames set by $bgcolor (or new equivalent).
Currently this defaults to "honeydew".

Options areas, including options panes, button bars, tabbed frames, and
similar: set to grey (or a variable)

Widgets where the user needs to enter something, including entry widgets and
text widgets: set to white (or a variable)

Output areas: like the current gronsole.
