For at least Tix.ComboBox it appears to be necessary to invoke the TCL
package loading explicitly with:
   root.tk.eval('package require Tix')

This was demonstrated on:
Python 2.6.2 (r262:71605, Apr 14 2009, 22:40:02) [MSC v.1500 32 bit
(Intel)] on win32

Documentation gives proper usage of Tix to be replacing Tkinter.Tk()
with Tix.Tk(). This solves the problem. 

I think this was an RTFM issue.

BTW: It should be given to the future searchers, that the mistake
results in the following error:
    _tkinter.TclError: invalid command name "tixComboBox"

The solution is simple:

Documentation gives proper usage of Tix to be replacing Tkinter.Tk()
with Tix.Tk(). This solves the problem. 

I think this was an RTFM issue.
