Lib/tkinter/tix.py uses the StringType name which is not defined. This is a remnant from 2.x where the StringType type was imported from the types module. In 3.x it gone and was replaced by str in Lib/tkinter/__init__.py. The proposed patch fixes it also in tix.py.

I am slightly surprised no one has complained about a NameError. I guess tix is untested and not used too much, or at least not the two methods, tixCommand.tix_configure and TixWidget.config_all. Anyway, do it.

I guess this code executed only when wantobjects is false.
