Joe,

It doesn't seem to be supported at all on the Mac: I get an error when I
try to define it as such, and I can't find any setting for "toolbutton"
in the button.tcl file of my Tile library (I'm running 0.6, built from
CVS as part of the TkAqua distro). That's okay, however: after trying
the various alternatives that you and Michael suggested, I'm comfortable
with the design as it is.

By the way, I have hacked the combobox.tcl file to provide standard Tk
scrollbars, since the Tile scrollbars don't work as well on the Mac as
the native ones; I also adjusted the font code in that file so the text
in the combobox integrates better.  I'm distributing the modified file
as part of my application. Should I submit a patch of some sort? I don't
want to muddy the waters of the main distribution with a Mac-specific
hack, but I'll put something together (I'll send the file for you to
diff, if nothing else) if you want.

Kevin
