- Tk_dialog appears in the upper left corner. This is a symptom of a
larger problem with "wm geometry" when applied to unmapped or
iconified windows.
-- Some keys don't work on international keyboards.
- PPM images are using the wrong translation mode for writing to
files, resulting in CR/LF terminated PPM files.
- Tk crashes if the display depth changes while it is running. Tk
also doesn't consistently track changes in the system colors.
