Great start! Tcl's a bit weird, but you can do a lot with a few lines
of code.
Sounds like you got it right. I think you'll have to brute regex it
in pdtk_post for this idea to work. But since its a plugin, I think
its ok if its a bit heavy since it can be easily disabled.
I think the easiest thing to do here would be to create your
own ::pdwindow::pdtk_post and then use the 'rename' command to swap
yours in for the standard one.
