If Isaac's suggestion of changing the tab order by changing the
stacking order with tkraise() and lower() works, there's no reason to
pursue changing the tab order by binding the tab key. But I'm a little
curious. Does it not work because the structure of your app makes
doing things that way hard or does it mysteriously not work? In the
latter case, I'd be interested to see a minimal failing example. But
as I said, it may all be moot.
