The first thing that comes to mind are help tooltips (a.k.a. balloons). There are a few third-party libraries, but none of them that I'm aware of get it quite right (especially for tooltips on menu items).
There are couple of other common widgets as well, but I'm having trouble thinking of them at the moment.
At any rate, there aren't too many (and ttk helps immensely in this regard), but it's something you miss coming from Qt.
On the other hand, being able to put a minimal, but very usable gui together with just a few lines of code is a real strength of Tcl/Tk. (Though I usually use Python+Tkinter as I tend to write scientific applications.) There's a lot to be said for the right level simplicity vs batteries-included.
