Tile has been implemented in the Tk core starting with version 8.5, 
still somewhere between alpha and beta stage. Once 8.5 is out, and 
Python is configured to build against Tk 8.5 (instead of 8.4), it should 
Just Work.

What do you mean here? Things like keyboard accelerators, menu 
placement, and so on? Those things are already natively implemented by 
Tk, and the developer just needs to invoke them. Sometimes some 
conditional code is required for stuff like keyboard accelerators (the 
"tk windowingsytem" command is useful for this), but again, it should 
Just Work.

Or am I missing something?
