Hey, Tcl does just about everything. That's why I like it.

You can do that. You don't need this extension for it. Use "wm 
OVERRIDE_REDIRECT" or some such on your window, and you won't get a 
border or close buttons, so you just position it in the corner and draw 
into it.

What's unreliable about it? I've very rarely had a problem with anything 
not working as specified. Indeed, I've been using it for 13 years and 
only found two rather obscure bugs.

If you mean "it doesn't work as I expect" (e.g., things complaining 
about malformed lists), post your code and I'm happy to show you how to 
do it reliably.
