Further research confirms that Tk does not work _at_all_, which supports the view that an upgraded version of Tk is needed to work with Xorg.
The Tk interpreter is called "wish". Trying to run wish produces the following:- [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/tcltk$ wish Application initialization failed: this isn't a Tk applicationunknown color name "Black" % [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/tcltk$ Another way to invoke Tk is via the tcl interpreter, thus:- [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/tcltk$ tclsh % package require Tk this isn't a Tk applicationunknown color name "Black" % which does not work either. Ergo, I believe Tk does not work at all in the Dapper 6.06 release. -- version upgrade needed to 8.4.14 https://launchpad.net/bugs/68555 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
