Hi Matthew,

I may have missed your point, so let me know if I have :) but,

As long as you keep a reference to your widget you can access it
directly, so:

from Tkinter import *
import Pmw
root=Tk()
Pmw.initialise()
notebook=Pmw.Notebook(root)
notebook.pack()
page=notebook.add('My Tab')
entry=Entry(page,width=20)
entry.pack()
root.mainloop()

Obviously you've now got a reference to your Entry, i.e.
entry.config(fg='red')
