This is one of those things that really argues for a Tcl::pTk
for all the Perl/Tk compatability stuff.  I don't care if it
itself requires Tcl::Tk, but there is only so much you want to
muddle a cleaner implementation with.

I for one disapprove of any further use of Tix, as it is quite
outdated, but if that's what the Perl/Tk folks rely on, then
let them use it when they have the right configuration.

You mentioned snit::widget support in another message.  This
is a much cleaner way to construct megawidgets.  FWIW, there
will likely (finally) be a blessed OO package for Tcl 8.5,
which would mean a consistent OO megawidget framework as well.
