Thanks very much for all of your answers, they were
very helpful.

On this item here though, I have a class which extends
Tk, and when I call self.minsize(500, 500) the
window still seems to size itself automatically
down much smaller than this size when the widgets
I pack into it don't require that much size.

Using xwininfo, I can see that horizontally, it 
never goes below 500, but vertically, it does.  Is
there anything else that I should be looking for?
Having the size of the window constantly jumping
around is very visually distracting.
