No luck in here. After upgrading my Ubuntu from Dapper to Edgy, input in tk failed as described below. I can't input spanish characters (á é í ó ú ñ), or greek characters, only standard ASCII (maybe more?). However I can copy/paste them from other apps. Strange! I tried tcl/tk 8.4.13 and 8.5 with no luck, so I'll keep trying!
