Could you accomplish your objective through grid padding or an empty
frame between the text widget and the scrollbar? Those would be
pretty easy to implement, and the user couldn't possibly delete
those.

Not a bad thought, but, I'm using the Autoscroll package (so the
scrollbar isn't always going to be there).

Your suggestion has given me an excellent idea which I've used to
resolve it. A bit complicated to explain, but, the TclMacBag text
widget will have a -rmargin option in version 0.20 when it comes
out.
