Still this is not an Apple problem, obviously.
Oh, I wouldn't say that. Changing an API that's been stable for 20
years doesn't strike me as having been a good design decision. The
correct way to think about this is not "Apple broke Tk", it is
"Apple broke an unknowably large number of applications, of which
Tk is the first to be reported".
For the purpose of clarification: is this an Apple change, or an X.org
2.3 change that Apple imported?
