      It works fine for me on Slackware Linux. Note that to scroll you have to have an entry that is wider than the box.
      Code:
      class TestEntry():
    def __init__(self):
            root = tk.Tk()
            self.scrollbar = tk.Scrollbar(root,orient="horizontal")
            txt = tk.StringVar()
            self.e3 =tk.Entry(root,
                     xscrollcommand=self.scrollbar.set,
                     textvariable=txt)
            txt.set("ABC"*10)  ## add some text to scroll
            self.e3.focus()
            self.e3.pack(side="bottom",fill="x")
            self.scrollbar.pack(fill="x")
            self.scrollbar.config(command=self.e3.xview)
            self.e3.config()

            root.mainloop()

TestEntry()
