you're right, there is no mega-widget packet for XOTcl (I often use Tcl megawidgets such as Bwidgets) ... yet it is quite simple to integrate Tk and XOTcl; and build you're own megawidgets. I found that wrapping the simple Tk widgets (or Bwidgets) does not make too much sense, but building classes that represent more complex GUI elements is very useful. The most simple thing you can do is to store the widget IDs of the associated widget in a variable on the object representing it.

I have a small bunch of classes and methods that makes using Tk with XOTcl a good bit easier (IMO, of course). If I remember later I can stick them up somewhere. Just remind me :-)
