Summary: FIXED IN SVN; NEEDS TESTING: Tk causes hangs and SEGVs

Initial Comment:
Example from TkWidgetcmds help:
try:
	require(tcltk)
	tt <- tktoplevel()
	tkpack(txt.w <- tktext(tt))
	tkinsert(txt.w, "0.0", "plot(1:10)")
	eval.txt <- function() eval(parse(text=tclvalue(tkget(txt.w, "0.0", "end"))))
	tkpack(but.w <- tkbutton(tt,text="Submit", command=eval.txt))
Click the button.
Result:  RKWward hangs.

Example from slider help:
try:
	require(relax)
	plot.sample.norm<-function(){
	refresh.code<-function(...){
	mu<-slider(no=1); sd<-slider(no=2); n<-slider(no=3)
	x<-rnorm(n,mu,sd)
	plot(x)
	}
	slider(refresh.code,sl.names=c("value of mu","value of sd","n number of observations"),
		sl.mins=c(-10,.01,5),sl.maxs=c(+10,50,100),sl.deltas=c(.01,.01,1),sl.defaults=c(0,1,20))
	}
	plot.sample.norm()
Slide a slider.
result:  SIGSEGV

Hi!

Thanks for reporting. I'm surprised, nobody stumbled over this before,
this bug must have been present since a long time...

This should be fixed in SVN (r2649). Since I got slightly different
results, initially (a hang, but no segv in both examples), it would be nice
if you could test and post back.

NOTES:
This also needs some more testing on potential side-effects, and should
probably be backported to the KDE3 branch, if we do any further release(s)
for KDE 3.
