Hi Keith,

I've been looking at this problem from the other end, i.e. fixing IWidgets to
not be so dumb.  But, after some effort I think your current solution/hack is
best.  The long term "clean" solution would seem to center around removing
IWidgets from Insight. (!?)  Otherwise it will involve fixing Iwidgets.

Atleast it's not as gross as the Tcl library loader hack...

Yeah, IWidgets is a bit hacky, we could move the:
  append auto_path $IWIDGETS_LIBRARY
from main.tcl (in Insight) into iwidgets.tcl (IWidgets will always assume
that the scripts it wants is in a "./scripts" directory).

Other than that, there doesn't seem to be much that can be done,

Ian.
