Overview

KeyValues is a Hash. if

key_values = Gtk2AppLib::KeyValues.new( hash1, hash2, hash3, ... )

then key_values will have all the keys in hash1 set to the values in hash1, and then add the (key,values) in hash2 it may be missing, and so on... That means that hash1 has priority over hash2 in setting keys, and so on.. As actually used, it works like this:

key_values =
  Gtk2AppLib::KeyValue.new(user_inputs, method_defaults, class_defaults)

key_values remains a simple "flat" hash (when built from "flat" hashes).
