Inferno's Tk implementation has been reorganised to make it more modular, and reworked extensively to improve correctness and robustness (particularly when memory is low).

There is now a grid packer, which makes it straightforward to lay out information in rows and columns.

There is also a panel widget, that displays arbitrary graphics drawn outside of Tk (typically using the drawing operations of the Limbo Draw module), allowing such graphics to be embedded in Tk frames, canvases, and text widgets.

We intend to make it look better too.
Status: Tk module implementation changed considerably, work on appearance still to do
