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:-

tony@ubuntu:~/tcltk$ wish
Application initialization failed: this isn't a Tk applicationunknown color name "Black"
% tony@ubuntu:~/tcltk$

Another way to invoke Tk is via the tcl interpreter, thus:-

tony@ubuntu:~/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.
