How do you keep a widget in view while scrolling?

I am using Tix to automatically create a scroll bar as the content changes. I want to keep a button or two in the user's view while they scroll through the contents of the application. I haven't seen this question for Tkinter/Tix yet so I thought I'd ask.

The following code will create a sample of the problem where the button is at a fixed point in the window, and is subject to being scrolled.

from Tkinter import *
import Tix
class some_GUI:
    def __init__(self, root):
        sw= Tix.ScrolledWindow(root, scrollbar=Tix.AUTO)
        sw.pack(fill=Tix.BOTH, expand=1)
        frame1 = Frame(sw.window) 
        frame1.grid(row = 0, column = 1)
        frame2 = Frame(sw.window) 
        frame2.grid(row = 0, column = 2)
        def quit():
            root.quit()
        for i in range(0,300):
            label1 = Label(frame1, text = "foo")
            label1.grid(row = i, column = 0)
        button = Button(frame2, text  = "Quit", command = quit)
        button.pack()

root = Tix.Tk()
display = some_GUI(root)
root.mainloop()

I want the button(s) to be in "frame2" and centered vertically relative to the application's window. I tried using winfo_height/winfo_width to find the frame's height/ width to work with update, but these values didn't change with the addition of the labels and button.

Attempted/possible solutions:

• I put frame2 in sw.subwidgets_all[1] by doing the following:

  frame1.pack(side = LEFT)
  frame2 = Frame(sw.subwidgets_all()[1]) 
  frame2.pack(side = RIGHT)
  button = Button(frame2, text  = "Quit", command = quit)
  button.pack(side = RIGHT)
  

  This allows the fixed position relative to the application, but the window resizes relative to the button's parent instead of frame1. Another drawback is that the horizontal scrollbar is only relative to frame1.

• Find the midpoint of the scrollbar and update the position of the buttons relative to those coordinates using place(maybe?) not sure how to accomplish this, and seeing SO solutions in general I think this might be an inefficient way of doing this.

EDIT: Although this isn't exactly what I had in mind, the following code works as per falsetru's suggestion in the comments:

from Tkinter import *
import Tix
class some_GUI:
    def __init__(self, root):
        def quit():
            root.quit()
        frame2 = Frame(root) 
        frame2.pack(side = RIGHT)
        button = Button(frame2, text  = "Quit", command = quit)
        button.pack()
        frame1 = Frame(root) 
        frame1.pack(side = LEFT)
        sw= Tix.ScrolledWindow(frame1, scrollbar=Tix.AUTO)
        sw.pack(fill=Tix.BOTH, expand=1)
        for widget in sw.subwidgets_all():
            print widget
        for i in range(0,300):
            label1 = Label(sw.window, text = "foo")
            label1.grid(row = i, column = i)
        print root.winfo_toplevel()
        for widget in sw.subwidgets_all():
            print widget



root = Tix.Tk()
display = some_GUI(root)
root.mainloop()

You can put the button out of ScrollWindows:

import Tix
from Tkinter import *


def build_ui(root):
    sw = Tix.ScrolledWindow(root, scrollbar=Tix.AUTO)
    sw.pack(side=LEFT, fill=Tix.BOTH, expand=1)
    for i in range(300):
        label1 = Label(sw.window, text="foo")
        label1.grid(row=i, column=0)
    button = Button(root, text="Quit", command=root.quit)
    button.pack(side=RIGHT)


root = Tix.Tk()
build_ui(root)
root.mainloop()
