I should have mentioned the flashing boxes...

Anyway, 6 people have run these so far on a variety of common systems:
Debian Wheezy, Debian Jessie, Mint, Gentoo, openSUSE, and Ubuntu. One 
ttk test failed once but passed on retry. Three obscure tk tests failed 
on another system.  On the same system, though, the ttk and (incomplete) 
idle tests passed. Conclusion: I should not worry about ttk on Linux. 
Thank you all for helping.
