That are really exciting good news!  

Have you tried to run the test suite, that comes with Pmw 0.8.3?  
It is simple to start:  Run
	Pmw:Pmw_0_8_3:tests:All.py
If this works for you, it would be nice to hear, what magic spells you
applied to your Mac ...err... what specific configuration you have:
What MacOS version did you use?
Did you use the Tcl/Tk binary libs from Scriptics instead of those coming
integrated with binary installer by Jack jansen and if so, which particular
version?
Have you tried to use the Python Imaging Library (PIL)?
(try to import Image and ImageTk)?

Regards and thanks in advance, Peter
