Aha. Now I see it too:

tkconfigure(lbl.MainT,text="Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious")

and yes, tkgrid() creates a (surprise) grid layout, so if one cell is
wide, so is the entire column, unless you let the cell span more than
one column.

I.e. this makes the effect go away

tkgrid(lbl.MainT,columnspan=4,sticky="nw")

(columnspan=2 does not quite cut it in this case)
