Ha ha. Yeah, blame Tk, and threaten to use something else. They always come back :-) Why not blame Microsoft, and threaten to dump them? Things are always harder to do on Win32.

Tk make doing most things very easy, so for 95% of all projects, it's easiest to do in Tk. I was getting fed up like you, thought, " yeah I'll switch to Gtk2", then I find out that Gtk2 has it's share of problems, and while it gives you alot of control, you spend much more more time setting up and figuring out the signal chains. Then try to figure out settings colors in Gtk2..... it's so easy in Tk. So "6 of one, half dozen of the other".
