Oops!

Thanks, not really, it seems.
The reason I did so was that I "stole" the whole part of the function you quoted
(including the comments) from someone who used it in a canvas widget without 
thinking very much about it and adapted it for my listbox method; well, at least
the complicated way works, too;-)
