Tkinter Menus on WinXX platform

[Peter Funk]

Hi!

Using Linux as main development platform I'm trying to write a portable GUI
application using Python and Tkinter.

Testing on Win98 using py152.exe I noticed three small problems with menus:
1. Menu Radio- and Checkbuttons have both a check (tick, peg?) where 
   Radiobuttons shoulld have a dot (period) when selected.
2. If a menu is drawn the first time, selected check und radio buttons
   are not drawn correctly.  You have to move the mouse cursor above those
   buttons to provoke a redraw.
3. If tear off menus using the perforation and than close (withdraw) the
   window containing the menu, the "teared off" menu window stays on the
   screen (which also happens on Linux )

These are all problems not directly related to python.  May be they would 
disappear, if using a newer version of Tcl/Tk?  

How much work is required, to replace Tcl/Tk 8.0.5 with version 8.2? 
I've had a look at the python-cvs-tarball recently and haven't seen 
any change in tkinter towards a newer version?  Is there somebody working
on that?

Regards, Peter
