FWIW, i'll throw in that i gave up using builders with tk - it became as 
easy/easier to write the code directly as use a builder and try to fit it to my 
program.

XF was very handy intially, because i could play with the packer dynamically 
and learn all its little quirks; but now, having sussed the packer and with the 
addition of the gridder (and even the new useable placer), and a few procs of 
my own for repetitive stuff (like double scrollbars), builder programs aren't 
worthwhile.  for me.
