[New-bugs-announce] [issue6951] OS X IDLE has two Preferences menus on 2.6.x with Tk > 8.4.7

[Ned Deily]

New submission from Ned Deily <nad at acm.org>:

Release blocker

On OS X IDLE 2.6 shows two Preference menu items, the second dimmed out, 
but only when running with an installed Tk 8.4 > 8.4.7.

This is the same problem identified in Issue6100 and was fixed in trunk 
but not backported.  Now that the Apple-supplied 8.4 Tk in 10.6 is 8.4.19, 
the problem is more serious on 2.6.  The attached patch backports r72946 
from trunk.
