What is your thinking regarding widgets from XOTcl?
I've been pondering the same issue, but I haven't yet required Tk so I haven't done anything about it. Anyway, the ideas I came up with follow on these lines:
1) Have a meta-class for Tk widgets, that automatically registers a filter for each class it creates. This filter would reroute all calls to an object to the actual Tk widget so that when "$myButton configure" is called the command ".frame.b configure" is called. Then with this meta-class created, just create the classes for each Tk object (not really that many -- and no methods are needed for the XOTcl classes as methods are just passed on).
2) Do the same with [incr Tk]. In fact, [incr Tcl] is enough. Then you automatically can use [incr Tk] and all other iTcl libraries as if they were XOTcl libraries. Could be extremely handy.
