Can you post a simple example that shows this problem?
I am not sure if I understood you correctly; I tried the following:

######################################
import tkinter.tix as Tix

root = Tix.Tk()
f = Tix.Frame(root)
f.pack(fill='both', expand=1)
Tix.Button(f, text='foo').pack()

f2 = Tix.Frame(root)
f2.pack(fill='both')
Tix.Button(f2, text='bar').pack()

def on_focus_out(event):
    print('focus out')
f.bind('<FocusOut>', on_focus_out)

root.mainloop()
######################################

and here it worked as expected (python 3.1,, debian squeeze with IceWM).
It might very well be a WM specific issue though, did you try different
WMs?

Regards

Michael
