TCL and TK apps fail to launch!

after launching any app that has a TCL or TK framework you get errors.

For example, Pysol give this error when it launches:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/games/pysol/pysol.py", line 121, in ?
    sys.exit(main(sys.argv))
  File "/usr/share/games/pysol/main.py", line 430, in main
    r = pysol_main(args)
  File "/usr/share/games/pysol/main.py", line 373, in pysol_main
    r = pysol_init(app, args)
  File "/usr/share/games/pysol/main.py", line 127, in pysol_init
    top = MfxRoot(className=PACKAGE)
  File "/usr/share/games/pysol/tk/tkwrap.py", line 75, in __init__
    apply(Tkinter.Tk.__init__, (self,), kw)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/lib-tk/Tkinter.py", line 1569, in __init__
    self.tk = _tkinter.create(screenName, baseName, className, interactive, wantobjects, useTk, sync, use)
__main__.TclError: this isn't a Tk applicationunknown color name "Black"

The end part (where the Black part is mentioned) is replicated in almost every app.
