I know on Linux, Tk 8.6 has a problem with dead keys when using an international keyboard layout (see issue 25356 [1]). This crash could be related to whatever causes the problem on Linux. Try running a simple test.tcl script via wish: text .t pack .t Does wish crash when you press tilde in the window?
