Actually, the behaviour I'm seeking is resizing the label widget when the
label text is changed.  I changed the label to a large one (more
characters), but the label widget remained the same size, clipping off
the characters at the end of my new string.  I'm using the variable
font.  Does that make a difference?

Thanks for the other info!
