In the past, when building and testing the windows installer for Python 2.3.3, I sometimes had mysterious crashes with scripts using Tkinter.
As it turns out now, the crashes probably have been caused by the python.exe.manifest and pythonw.exe.manifest files that wxPython installs. These files give wxPython apps the win XP look when run on win XP by marking python to be compatible with the version 6 common controls dll from MS, but it seems Tkinter is incompatible with this.
Is there anything that can be done to Tkinter to make it compatible with the new common controls dll?
