Hmmm....Okay, I think I can make that work by using the update() call first.

But--when I manually (resize) the toplevel window with a mouse, none of 
those methods (winfo_geometry, winfo_width/height) work correctly. They 
still return the originally set size of the window--even after the user 
has resized it. Placing update() calls after the resizing and before 
reading the attributes still doesn't return the correct size values.
