yuck.  if that's the kind of UI programs you're writing, we sure have 
different design ideals.

and arguing that Tkinter is unelegant when you're doing silly things in 
a silly way is a bit like arguing that Python is unelegant because your 
first attempt to write a "hello world" program resulted in:

      import sys
      # .stdout.write("Hello World") # gives unusable error message
      from sys import stdout as glah
      glah.writelines(iter(" ".join(["h3110", "W0rlD"])))
