The creation of a widget instance is a complex process. You must
  understand how it works in order to write your widget classes. The
  following is the steps taken by the Tix Intrinsics when a widget
  instance is created:
 When the user creates an instance, the public variables are
  intilized as discussed in section 6.5.1. Type checkers
  are always called if they are specified. Configuration methods are
  called only if they are specified in the 
-forcecall section.
The InitWidgetRec method is called. It should initialize 
  private variable, possibly according to the values the public
  variables.
The ConstructWidget method is called. It should create the
  component widgets. It should also store the names of public
  subwidgets into the subwidget variables.
The SetBinding method is called. It should create bindings for
  the component widgets.
   After the above steps, the creation of the instance is complete and the
  user can iterate with it using its widget command.
