1) The compound image stuff doesn't work. CmpImg core dumps. This seems to be something to do with Tcl/Tkinter **** FIXED **** as of Tcl7.6, Tk4.2, Tix4.0.5 2) tk.call is used a lot in the demos. These functions should be encapsulated somewhere in Python (more mods to Tkinter ?) 3) Callback definition is not straightforward. A lot of the time a lambda definition has to be written. However, this is a general Tkinter problem. 4) In the Control widget, the callbacks for increment, decrement and validate should return a string to Tix. Find a way to do this.
