[Tutor] PMW combobox won't display properly using X

I've written a Python gui using Python Mega Widgets (PMW) that works
beautifully when run natively on Windows or Linux.

However, when I run the app on a Linux box and try to display it back to my
Windows box using an X server (like freeXer or XMing), the combobox widget's
drop-down menu is squashed all to the left, leaving just a small vertical
bar which otherwise should be a wide drop-down menu. Can't scroll it or
select anything in it -- it's not wide enough to see anything in it.

I've tried this on several machines, all producing the same result.

Does anyone know why this should happen and what might be the solution?
