I think I've found the issue: a misconfigured pkgIndex.tcl in my Tk 
installation that identifies the version as 8.5.12. Changing this to 
8.5.13 alleviates the problem, and my Tkx sample app now runs.

I ran across the suggested fix here:

http://coding.derkeiler.com/Archive/Tcl/comp.lang.tcl/2008-12/msg00198.html

This is not surprising: as I do a lot of Tk core development, my working 
installation of Tk is often not 100% "clean" but instead is rebuilt 
piecemeal from incremental changes that I make and patches I commit. I 
suspect a clean, fresh build of Tk would not display these issues.

What's especially curious is that my Tcl/Tk scripts don't show this 
issue! No wonder I couldn't figure it out. Perhaps it has something to 
do with the fact that I run my Tcl/Tk scripts from the Wish application 
rather than the Tcl interpreter with a "package require Tk" invocation.

Anyway, sorry for the noise, but I thought it would be especially 
helpful to get this fix documented for posterity: I've seen a few other 
reports of the behavior in scattered forums and no other fix has ever 
been proposed. What's the big relief for me is that I can proceed with 
some Perl/Tkx apps in a production context.

Thanks to all,
Kevin
