if you can get a simple program to work (like the test code in
Tkinter.py), it's probably okay.

there are some initialization issues with Tk 8.1, but they may be
fixed in 8.2.  if you get messages like "cannot find usable tk.tcl in
the following directories" followed by a number of empty lines,
you need to patch the _tkinter module.

(don't have a pointer handy; if you need the patch and cannot
find it, followup to this post).
