No. gis.m shouldn't be binding ConfigureRequest in the first place, as
it will never receive this event. Just delete the corresponding "bind"
command from the gis.m source.

[The only way that a Tk application can receive ConfigureRequest
events is if it uses C code to add the SubstructureRedirectMask bit to
a window's event mask.]
