I've personally found aqua Tk 8.4.1 (the current version last I 
checked) to be just fine. It has a few cosmetic bugs that I've 
reported (insertion cursor sometimes not shown in a right justified 
entry widget, lines on canvasses are off by one pixel relative to 
unix (which was also true in MacOS 9)), but my telescope GUI seems 
perfectly stable.

I don't mean to dismiss your own experience -- my code may well not 
tickle he bugs you've seen. However, I would be interested in knowing 
of any serious bugs. And did you see them in 8.4.1 (aqua Tk 8.4 was 
definitely buggy)?
