First attempt at creating a mega widget and I can't seem to get the components to take on the default settings. The widget is a frame with two scrolled Listbox and a couple Buttons. I think I have the ConfigSpecs setup correctly, or at least how I've seen it in the books. And the configure method works correctly (only targets the Listboxes with -bg). Can somebody please clue me in to what I'm missing..? Thanks. jpream
