tkinter: Button color Solaris/Linux

[Bob Greschke]

I have a GUI where the background of the "GO" button, for example, turns
green while the associated action is running. On Windows it works fine, but
on Solaris and Linux the button background turns white (or whatever) when
the mouse pointer enters the button, the background stays that color while
Button-1 is being held down, and the background continues to stay that color
when Button-1 is released. The background only turns green when the user
moves the pointer off of the button. Can that be fixed, or is that an
X-Windows thing?

Thanks!

Bob

activebackground. At least this time it was a couple of minutes after the
Return key was pressed. :)
