Hum.  Inspiration, or just a temporary IQ bump, and I found something on 
the python.org site - Tkinter Troubleshooting 
(www.python.org/topics/tkinter/trouble.html) - I may have seen this page 
before but it's headed up with "windows gottchas" and I don't do windows 
- this time however I scrolled down to the Linux section.  Haven't 
followed through with it yet, but in case this was going to be 
suggested, then I've already found it.
