Thanks for the suggestion.

Here is what it says when I try to use setitems on a Pmw.OptionMenu to refresh its contents:

com.read_config_file ./.mWIN/profiles/last.profile
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./startMW.py", line 1323, in <module>
    frontEnd = FrontEnd(root)
  File "./startMW.py", line 854, in __init__
    self.loadProfile()
  File "./startMW.py", line 1216, in loadProfile
    self.profileList.setitems(self.com.profile_names)
  File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/site-packages/Pmw/Pmw_1_3/lib/PmwOptionMenu.py", line 67, in setitems
    self._menu.delete(0, 'end')
  File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/lib-tk/Tkinter.py", line 2675, in delete
    self.deletecommand(c)
  File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/lib-tk/Tkinter.py", line 358, in deletecommand
    self.tk.deletecommand(name)
_tkinter.TclError: can't delete Tcl command

In case of the activation of a Pmw.Diaog it just gives me a segmentation vault.
