+* How do I get tmux to use its default configuration values?
+
+By default, tmux has a sane number of default values hard-coded, which are
+used when no tmux configuration file is read.  One is able to query tmux
+about those values by using the following:
+
+    $ tmux -L fooX -f /dev/null start \; show-options -g
+
+The point here is to start a new tmux server using no configuration file at
+all, and hence for tmux to use the hard-coded values.
