It works without problem for me... What is the Linux distribution you're  
using? And with which window manager? And what is your tcl/tk version? For  
the latter, you can get it with:

 from Tkinter import *
root = Tk()
root.tk.eval('puts $tk_patchLevel')
-- 
python -c "print ''.join([chr(154 - ord(c)) for c in  
'U(17zX(%,5.zmz5(17l8(%,5.Z*(93-965$l7+-'])"
