I dug through the archive and found a similar problem posted regarding setPalette under Solaris. So I tried the suggested workaround in that post:
1. Issue the setPalette call right after creating the main window. 2. Use the 'interactive' priority option.
So for example:
$mainwidget = Tk::MainWindow->new (); $mainwidget->setPalette(qw/background snow3 priority interactive/);
This works under all Windows OS's I have access to. As I previously reported, using setPalette later in the program and/or apparently without the interactive priority option set, causes it to not work under W2K (and I gather Solaris), but does work under XP, go figure.

An obscure and probably (?) highly specific problem. When I install the "Apache/Perl (binaries for both Perl-5.6/Apache-1.0/mod_perl-1 and Perl-5.8/Apache-2/mod_perl-2)" from the ports page (http://www.cpan.org/ports/index.html#win32), using setPalette in my pTk programs works fine under XP Pro, but installing the same port under W2K Pro causes setPalette to do nothing. Furthermore, the default color scheme varies from W2K machine to W2K machine (e.g. seafoam on one and black on another). This behavior is clearly demonstrated by the widgets demo too, not just my programs.
Anybody know what I am talking about or how to fix it?
