This is a well known problem, reported about a year or so ago. John Hunter tried to get some help on the (TK?) mailinglist, but I don't think anybody responded. I looked into it too, but couldn't find a solution (that doesn't mean much, except for that it is not blatently obvious). It would be great if somebody would know how to fix this. Strangely enough I have written a GUI myself where I use the toolbar, and the save button works fine there.

We don't have anyone at the moment that can work on it, but I think on the order of a month or two we can. We see similar issues too. So if someone can deal with it before then, that would be great, but we'll tackle it before very long if not.
