Why is Pmw.Blt sending Destroy messages to my Toplevel?

This don't work:

def closing(event):
    if event.widget is frame:
        print 'closing!', event.type

It doesn't work because event.widget is some kind of string, while frame is
an object.

This, unfortunately, works:

def closing(event):
    if len(event.widget) == len('.12345678'):
        print 'closing!', event.type

In other words, I can tell if the widget is on top because the string
describing its address in the local window tree is short.

This sucks, but it works. Thanks for the confirmation!
