Re: [swarm-hackers] tk tcl error

[Scott Christley]

How about you email that tk.tcl file to me, off list, and I will  
compare it to my version.  From looking at the error message, it says  
something about <MouseWheel>, does your mouse happen to have one of  
those little wheels?  Maybe this is something new that isn't being  
handled, I'm totally guessing at this point.

I didn't install my own Tk/Tcl but used the one that came with debian,  
so there is always the possibility of new tweaks and fixes.
