Hello,

there is an old bug still remaining:  A toplevel gets a fixed size but 
normally this is wrong.  The packer and gridder are able to propagate the 
right size for the toplevel.  Only the placer needs this fixed size.  The 
problem becomes visible if you write a script and change the platform.  
Normally the widgets have different sizes (because of different font sizes 
different borders, etc.).

So I am not sure how to fix this bug.  I am not aware of a way to get the 
geometry manager that is used for a given toplevel -- if there is a way the 
absolut size can be activated only if needed by the placer.

(BTW: who really wants to use the placer besides for making something like 
paned windows?  Yes, the VisualBasic dummies, but ...)

Another way to fix, is to make an option: "save the absolut size of the 
toplevel".

And as an addition it would be nice to have a button that set's the 
toplevel at the requested size:
  wm geometry . {}

Uwe
