The Tk::BrowseEntry widget has a flaw: it overrides the binding for "<ButtonRelease-1>" in its main window. Here is some example code: 
use strict;
use Tk;

sub gotClick {
   print "got click\n";
}

my $main = new MainWindow;

# This one gets wiped out.
$main->bind('<ButtonRelease-1>' => sub { gotClick() });

my $combo = $main->BrowseEntry();
$combo->pack();

Tk::MainLoop();

The problem appears to be here: 
  BrowseEntry.pm:78:    $b->toplevel->bind('<ButtonRelease-1>',[$w,'Bu
+ttonHack']);

My temporary work-around is to do the window's event binding last, after all the controls have been created. Is there a better way to get around this problem?
