What exactly do you mean by the above comment? Tcl widgets are
destroyed when ever the parent widgets are destroyed. If you destroy
a toplevel window (say a file selector box) all the widgets associated
with that window are also destroyed. The Tcl user does not have todo
anything special to destroy the widgets associated with that window.

So either your comment is wrong or I'm misunderstanding you. Which,
of course, is always possible...
