Yes and no.  Yes, synthesizing ones own MessageBox gives greater
control, but that becomes a non-"native" MessageBox which is 
alleged to discomfort some end-users.

'Nother way to say this:  tkMessageBox is implemented in terms of
native widgets, as much as possible, and native MessageBoxes on
at least some platforms do NOT provide for resizing or width 
control.
