Sorry that I don't have time to look this up or check it out, but you
or someone else might want to make sure this isn't a Ruby naming
variance problem.  For instance, I ran into a problem of TkRadioButton
versus TkRadiobutton. See
(http://www.ruby-lang.org/cgi-bin/ruby-bugs/1.6?id=67;user=guest).

You might also look through the Tk widget demos (see RAA).

HTH.
