Mick,

Perfect - that's just what I was looking for.

Look at:

w.winfo_ismapped()

...Note that if a widget IS packed, but the parent (or some ancestor)
is not, this will return False.

w.winfo_manager()

-- will return "" if the widget is not packed/gridded etc.,
disregarding whether the parent is not packed.
Otherwise returns info on how it is placed.
