Rerun TkDesk and let it crash. You should have a core file now.

It's probably a parsing error. The script opens various files (such as
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/C/XI18N_OBJS) and tries to read them. I guess (but
that is just a guess) your upgrade from RedHat 7.1 to RedHat 7.3 had as result
to change the format/contents of these files, hence TkDesk can't parse them and
segfaults (if this is the case, it shouldn't happen if TkDesk was properly
programmed).
You'll find more if you inspect the core file with gdb (use the command
'where' to find where it crashed).
