There are several confusions in what you've written.  If
I understand correctly, an example of what you'd like is
to decorate a PanedWindow with a title.  I suspect that
the following will interest you:

    import Tkinter

    m = Tkinter.PanedWindow(orient = Tkinter.VERTICAL)
    m.pack(fill = Tkinter.BOTH, expand = 1)
    top = Tkinter.Label(m, text = "Do you see how wide the top pane is?")
    m.add(top)
    bottom = Tkinter.Label(m, text = "bottom pane")
    m.add(bottom)

    m.winfo_toplevel().title("look at me")
    Tkinter.mainloop()
