Problem solved. I was not properly passing the master widget reference
in my frame classes
class MyWidget(Frame):
def __init__(self, master, columns,rows, trace_write=None):
Frame.__init__(self) #<<<< here's my mistake
...
...
...
should have been:
class MyWidget(Frame):
def __init__(self, master, columns,rows, trace_write=None):
Frame.__init__(self,master)
...
...
...

P.S. I haven't been working on this since my last post. I had to quit
to go see my oldest graduate.
