I'm still stuck with the grid manager but this time I coded it up real 
simple and as a running program below.

#
from Tkinter import *
import Pmw
parent = Tk()
parent.geometry("400x200+300+300")

button_frame = Pmw.Group(parent, tag_text='Actions') 
startButt = Button(button_frame.interior(), padx=20,text="Start", 
bg='Green',  command=parent.destroy)
exitButt  = Button(button_frame.interior(), padx=20,text="Exit", bg='red', 
   command=parent.destroy)
pauseButt = Button(button_frame.interior(), padx=20,text="Pause", 
bg='orange', command=parent.destroy)

startButt.grid(row=0,column=0, sticky=W)
exitButt.grid(row=0, column=1, sticky=W)
pauseButt.grid(row=0, column=2, sticky=W) 
button_frame.grid(row=2, column=0, sticky=W+E) #Why doesn't the frame fill 
the window?
 
parent.mainloop()
#

I can't seem to get the button_frame to fill the window eventhough it 
should be expanding from left to right.  The sticky calls don't seem to 
have any affect.  Does anyone know why this might be?  Thank you for any 
advice. ~Ed
