You're most welcome.

GTK may be handier in any number of ways (I haven't used it myself)
but just to cheer you up <wink>: the problem of recalcitrant and
uncooperative window managers isn't limited to Tkinter or Python.  I
generally think of a request to a window manager as being roughly
equivalent to a request made to a stranger on the street.
