Hey. I recently discovered that Perl/Tk on Linux looks considerably different than it does on Windows. Most of the differences aren't very major (who really cares of checkboxes look different), but one annoyance is that a lot of widgets have unnecessary borders around them.

Here are some screenshots for comparison:

The first screenshot is on Windows; the second is on Linux.

All the Entry boxes, Buttons, and the Checkbutton have white borders around them. Setting -border=>0 and -borderwidth=>0 have no effect on it.

Anybody know how to get rid of these borders?
