The problem was that I didn't see the new 'Access name' entry on the Control menu. I've
got it working now.
BTW, the dctrl with the new diald-0.99.1 requires Tk-8.0, since the 'button -default'
option is not supported by Tk-4.2. On SuSE 6.1 this is just a matter of installing the
package tk_new and changing the invocation "wish" into "wish8.0" in the dctrl script
itself. I think you ought to change the dependency in the README file.
