I cannot reproduce this here, as soon as the file dialog is closed I can
click into the entry and type something in.

You need to define a value for the radiobutton's variable, otherwise all
buttons will be "off" when instantiated, so simply add something like

    self.var.set('key1')

to makeWidgets() .

I hope this helps

Michael
