error with IDLE on debian

[altern]

Hi

when i try to run IDLE on my debian laptop I get this error.

$ idle
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/usr/bin/idle", line 5, in ?
     main()
   File "idlelib/PyShell.py", line 1359, in main
   File "idlelib/FileList.py", line 44, in new
   File "idlelib/PyShell.py", line 105, in __init__
   File "idlelib/EditorWindow.py", line 111, in __init__
   File "/usr/lib/python2.4/lib-tk/Tkinter.py", line 2764, in __init__
     Widget.__init__(self, master, 'text', cnf, kw)
   File "/usr/lib/python2.4/lib-tk/Tkinter.py", line 1865, in __init__
     self.tk.call(
_tkinter.TclError: expected integer but got "`100"

I am not sure about what could cause the problem because I didnt use my 
laptop for python programming for couple of weeks. Before that it worked 
fine. And on that period i might have installed few things.

I am running Debian unstable with python 2.2.4, tcl8.4, tk8.4, python-tk 
24.4-1 and IDLE 2.4.4-2. I already tried to reinstall IDLE, tk and tcl 
and python-tk but that did not solve anything, i keep getting the same 
error.

any ideas?

thanks
