Yes, on Windows with Python 3.1 and using a StringVar(), the initial state is that  all radio buttons look selected when the program first begins.  I'm able to work around it so that no radio buttons look selected when the program first begins with:

v.set(None)

But this seems a bit like a hack.  I know back in Python 2.x on Windows, I didn't need to do this.  Is this a bug in tkinter for Python 3?  (I know when using an IntVar, you don't need to do this).  Is this the best solution for now?

Thanks,

--Bob
