Package: gitk
Version: 1:1.5.4.4-1
Severity: normal
Attempt to change backround or foreground colors in the Preferences
dialog causes that the invalid color value (with extra curve brackets
around the correct value) is written to ~/.gitk. Also, some other
dialogs stop working immediately after this change. Attempt to restart
gitk again fails until the invalid color value is removed from ~/.gitk.
Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Go to Edit->Preferences
2. Change the background color a bit.
3. Go to View->New View
gitk reports the following error:
===
unknown color name "{#eeffff}"
unknown color name "{#eeffff}"
(processing "-background" option)

"entry $top.args -width 50 -textvariable newviewargs($n) -background $bgcolor"

(command bound to event)

Attempt to restart gitk fails:
===
Error in startup script: unknown color name "{#e9ffff}"
(processing "-background" option)
invoked from within
"canvas $canv -selectbackground $selectbgcolor -background $bgcolor -bd 0

(procedure "makewindow" line 64)
invoked from within
"makewindow"
(file "/usr/bin/gitk" line 8632)
===
This error is caused by an incorrect value written by the Preferences
dialog in the ~/.gitk file:
set bgcolor {{#e9ffff}}
It seems the problem is related to using tk8.5 on Debian/Lenny, because
the same gitk does not exhibit this problem with tk8.4.
