ttk.Spinbox inherits from ttk.Entry.  My option list left out the options for Entry, which is one of the ttk widget not in the doc.  The additional entry options include exportselection, justify, show, state, textvariable, and width.

explicitly says textvariable is supported.  This is important because configdialog uses tracers on Var to detect and record user changes.
