So, basically, Tk is actually embedding the native Win2k menus, but it isn't actually embedding the native Win2k scrollbars... it's just emulating their look and feel? > > But it definitely doesn't use GTK widgets under Ubuntu with > > Gnome desktop. > > You seem to imply that GTK is "native" on Linux.

I implied that GTK widgets native under Gnome ;-) I was basing my assumption on an earlier poster who said that Tk 8.x can use native widgets on all supported platforms... so I assumed that under Gnome it should use GTK widgets. > > Is there a way to get it to do so? > > Not yet.
