Tkinter callback problem

If I'm going to be editing Python code to fix the problem, I think a
more robust solution is to wrap the Tkinter.py calls in try/except
like:

try:  getint(h)
except:  pass

That shouldn't take out any loss of functionality, and I'm sure
Tkinter will adapt in a similar way to handle Tk 8.4.2 soon enough. =)

Thanks,
