You sir are awesome.  Thank you so much.  I've so far been really good
at troubleshooting Tkinter, the library has really melded with my
thinking naturally since I started using Python on a regular basis a
year ago.  I had mixed feelings about asking for help on this because
I wanted so badly to figure it out myself but I became so exasperated
especially after combing through the TCL source to no affect.  Now
that you've given me the correct solution it seems like the Leave
event should have been a natural binding for me to break in all my
fiddling.

Ah well, it's a lesson I won't forget thanks to you.  Thanks so much
again, you're help is invaluable.  =D

Roger.
