Hey Jonathan,
I'm cc'ing pd-dev since this is a topic that could interest others and
others could contribute to. I've started a private git branch of
tkwidgets that I intent to push once I get somewhere with it. The
idea is to try out a new idea for how GUI objects can work.
Basically, I think I can make it so that Tcl handles more of the
interaction with the user, minimizing on pd-gui <--> pd
communications, and making it easier to write GUI objects. Its not
trivial to do, but should be doable.

Never mind, I see it now inside canvas_vis... too bad canvas'
"window" subcommand doesn't have something like pack's "-in" option...
But I guess I could make a toplevel checkbutton widget and just
manually clone it.

Hi Hans,
Do I have it right that your tkwidgets get destroyed when the
containing patch is vis'd 0? If so, any hints on how this happens?
Specifically, I'm playing around with [checkbutton], and even if I
comment out everything in eraseme and checkbutton_free, and every
single "destroy" subcommand, I still get a tcl error when sending a
bang or float to a [checkbutton] that's in a subpatch with no window
mapped:
(Tcl) INVALID COMMAND NAME: invalid command name
".x252a690.c.widget25272b0"
while executing
".x252a690.c.widget25272b0 cget -onvalue"
("uplevel" body line 2)
invoked from within
"uplevel #0 $cmd_from_pd"
