Yes, sometimes it doesn't work, even with a good tk and wish. I prefer
xconfig too, but because it refuses to work with some kernels I do this
in my build-kernel script:
###############################################################
# use old if you told it to, or preferably xconfig if it can, else
# menuconfig.
if [ "$1" == "old" ]; then
make oldconfig
else
make xconfig
[ $(echo $?) -eq 0 ] || make menuconfig
fi
