A Simple Menu , Stretching the Window Width--Tkinter

If you're having trouble with the size of the overall ("root" or "toplevel")
window, this might help:

  rootwin = Tk()
  # width=500, height=350, upper-left-corner at (50,50) -- revise to suit
  rootwin.geometry('500x350+50+50')
  rootwin.resizable(False, False)
  rootwin.title("Hello, out there")
