LTk uses IPC to talk between CL and Tk.  This is a great strength and 
weakness (see flame wars about X11 on the same topic).

In my experience, LTk is fine for most desktop apps (e.g. ABLE[1]) but it 
may not be suitable for a fast-paced game (difficulty controlling 
latency).  I recently posted a Sudoku GUI to the LTk mailing list.  It 
takes a while to render at first; but then its fully playable.
