Summary: 2.3b2 unpack tuple of wrong size in after_cancel

Initial Comment:
The new code in after_cancel in the version of Tkinter.py 
that ships with 2.3b2:

(script, type) = self.tk.splitlist(
                self.tk.call('after', 'info', id))

fails because the splitlist call returns something like

('after#53',)

at least when linking against the Tcl and Tk 8.4 libraries that 
Fink installs under Mac OS X.

Yes, the patch works fine.

With a little more investigation, I find that with Tcl 8.4 you 
sometimes get back a 2-tuple and sometimes a 1-tuple. So the 
comment is trivially misleading.

Matthew can you test the attached patch to verify if it
fixes the problem.  This (still) works for me on Tk 8.3.
