here's one way to do it:

    root = Tk()

    # populate UI

    # run event loop until widget is properly displayed
    root.wait_visibility()

    # start talking to CVS

    root.mainloop()


I've tried this in the interpeter- outside of the actual program I am
targeting- for the moment.
When I call Tk() a blank tk window appears.
When I call wait_visibility() the call never returns.

However, since the call to Tk() pops up the window- my menu should be
visible, and the program status bar as well.
So I'll try this in my target program as soon as I fix a few errors.

BTW I'm stick using python 2.3.4 with whatever version of Tk goes with it-
perhaps there are some behavioral differences.

thanks!
