in thread Tk grid in a Frame => freeze

I have a few small Perl/Tk apps that all use the grid method (partly because of specperl) and it seems to work okay. Is there a downside to grids that caused you to avoid using them?

    Use it until you find people complaining about it. :-) Just remember that "pack" is the recommended method. Gtk2 only has a "pack" method of loading windows.

    IIRC, it has todo with designing window widgets, so that they expand correctly on resizing. It probably leads to the never ending discussion.

      Luckily these are small apps with no need to resize so it's not really a problem. But yeah, resizing is terrible.
