TkOlwmProps - set user preference for olwm

TkOlwmProps provide facility to set user preferences on environments where olwm (OPEN LOOK Window Manager) or olvwm (OPEN LOOK Virtual Window Manager) is used as the window manager.

For environments other than olwm or olvwm (is there somebody using olwm still now?), you can use TkXSet instead.
