Please show some short example code of the problem. Without that, this is kind of like a "UFO report" - very hard to reproduce. It has been years since I did a complex Tk GUI, but it worked surprisingly well on XP,Win2K and Win7. I remember having to tweak a bit to get a nice display on all platforms, but I did succeed with the exception that there wasn't a nice "open directory" widget. I remember there being some issues with things like whether the user had "large fonts" enabled and interaction with custom display resolution. If you are using something aside from the defaults, please mention that.

Update: As I think about this, I haven't had the need to place a secondary window on the screen at particular x,y screen coordinates. If this window has to be at particular coordinates relative to the main window, why isn't it in the main window? Or why doesn't simple pack() work? The user can move these windows around and "save windows", meaning that you ask each window where it is and save those coordinates. Lot's of possibilities here.
