As usual, there probably is a solution, but without a small code example that demonstrates it, I'm not going to take the time to write it from scratch. You give a good explanation of what you want, but it all boils down to how you are actually coding it. It sounds to me, like you want to use that previous example I showed, that gets the new window measurements after a resize, and do some sort of repacking/packPropagation trickery. If you did make a minimal example, you could also post it on comp.lang.perl.tk, and get more eyes looking at it. If worse comes to worse, you could completely withdraw the top window, repack everything, then raise it. But you get a crummy flicker that way. Also, there may be other techniques than what you are using, which is unknown to us. Maybe all you need to do is do a geometry statement with the new size, then update/packPropagate the window.

I've found when you get into these esoteric situations, there is usually a way out by putting things into a scrolled Pane or something similar. like deep nesting of frames with expand set.
