Problem is really strange, and seems to be a Tk issue, not Tkinter. I've observed that if method configure is called and **any** parameter of frame is changed, then frame "forgets" all its children, gets natural size and then pack children again! This just(?) causes flickering, and do not depend on geometry manager --- all place, pack and grid work in this way. But only place causes the problem --- I guess it do not block events, or generate some events. Workaround: class Widget: def __init__(self, master): self.master = master self.buildFrame() self.buildWidget() self.x = 0 self.y = 0 # [snip] def enterFrame(self, event): if self.x != event.x or self.y != event.y: self.f.configure(cursor = 'sb_h_double_arrow') self.x, self.y = event.x, event.y def leaveFrame(self, event): if self.x != event.x or self.y != event.y: self.f.configure(cursor = '') self.x, self.y = event.x, event.y w. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
