I've experienced an auto-expanding Tcl/Tk-window:
(Windows NT)

import Tkinter
tk = Tkinter.Tk()
tk.state("zoomed") #Windows only
tk.resizable(False, False)
tk.mainloop()

As you take the window by curser and move it slowly to the left, it expands automatically to the right. This effect doesn't exist vertically.

When you use tk.state("zoomed") you needn't to set tk.resizable, but this call remained in my programm and caused that problem.

Systeminformation:

Thanks.

I can't reproduce this on python 2.4.4 (or any newer version) using 
windows vista, so this is either specific to the tk included in python 
2.4.2 or tk and your specific os version.

If you still have this problem, report it at http://sourceforge.net/projects/tktoolkit as it is not caused by Tkinter 
specifically.
