Superb! That solved my problem. Thanks.

(BTW, suppose I'll be running my code inside a Tk application. In that 
case I wouldn't want to execute Tk.mainloop() (and restart(), of course) 
at all. Any way to find out if we're already running in a Tk 
application?)

Thanks, Nagai, but this is too much voodoo for me :-) I don't bother to 
study the "dark" corners of Tk because I have a feeling Tk is a 
dead-end. (It has an ingeniously simple API, I admit, but the facts that 
I struggled yesterday to fetch the selcted item from a TkListbox, and 
even more to add scrollbars, and that the fonts are so ugly and 
unreadable, show that Tk has been dormant for at least 15 years.) But it 
seems we don't have much choice. GTK requires you to memorize CONSTANTS. 
Shoes doesn't have mature widgets. FOX is a pain to compile. So we go 
with Tk.
