I don't know how to check the scrollbar, but one thing you could try
playing with: tkFont.Font instances support a .measure method. So, if
f is a tkFont.Font, then f.measure('hello world!') will return how
many pixels wide that string would be on the screen. You could maybe
compare this with the width of the widget itself?
