Summary: nametowidget throws TypeError for Tcl_Objs

Initial Comment:
In some rare cases with Python 2.3.3 and Tcl/Tck 8.4.5,
in particular in tk_focusNext(), self.tk.call returns a
Tcl_Obj instead of a string and then nametowidget()
throws a TypeError when it tries to check if the first
character is a period or not.  Since Tcl/Tk is only
going to get more Tcl_Obj-ectified, the best solution
is to not change tk_focusNext(), but to add two lines
to nametowidget():

   if not isinstance(name, str):
        name = str(name)
