I don't know how many times things like this have happend to me with Tk. I have to stop, bang my head against the wall and start reinventing the wheel to get something that should be working to work..in some roundabout way..and I'm starting to get oh so tired of it..

I love Tk, I really do, but I think it might be time to move on to something else soon. The "RAD factor" is not that huge with Tk when things are broken all the time. Endof rant. (tired).

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".

I love to use Linux all the time, but I'm bound to too many apps on win32 that I don't have time to relearn on another platform at the moment.

zentara, u ever work with Tcl::Tk? If so: 1)What do u think about it? 2)Do we have to fiddle around with Tcl-code to get stuff to work? and 3)can we use all widgets from Tcl, for example Tkhtml (looks wonderful)? 4)Does this package have problems with memory leaks? 5)Does it work well on windows?

If u can't answer them, maybe courage can?

Also, anyone know when next release of perl/Tk is arriving? I've hardly seen Nick or Slaven in the Tk newsgroup these last few months?!
