You'll note that I didn't slam your work specifically, in fact, I said it
was a great concept.  You'll also note that it was a comment, and not a
statement that "The author is completely braindamaged, and should be taken
out and shot".  So in a nutshell, relax.

Perhaps it is my config, while I find it possible that it is something
with Accelerated-X, it seems odd that it only shows up in tk stuff, and
nothing else.

My frustration with TCL/TK was related to performance in general, not your
app.  I've tried TKdesk, and it crawls, and zircon runs like  a dog as
well.  The common thread being my machine, and tcl/tk apps.  However, I
don't see any other performance problems with my box and Motif apps, I
get great mpeg frame-rates, everything else works very snappy so I 
was quick to point the finger at TCL/TK, which may actually be incorrect.
