Thanks for that - yes, it's been a while since we tested the native
(Aqua) TCL/TK. It does look like it mostly works - the dropdown menus
are a little ugly, but may well be a good alternative to the broken
X11 if you want Leopard. Unfortunately there are still issues if you
want to run (e.g.) FSLView remotely on a server and display over X11,
there are still Leopard X11 bugs affecting this.
Cheers, Steve.
