I have failed to reproduce this bug both using Sid (an update from clean
Etch install under QEMU running the i386 arch) and Etch (on a hardware
i686 platform), which seems to have the same versions of libtk8.4 and
libxcb1 as those in Sid at the moment. Presence or absence of tkxwin
(which is not in Debian proper) also didn't affect anything in both cases.
Since Sergei Golovan has also failed to reproduce this (in
cdebootstrap's chroot on i386), I tend to suppose there's some unknown
factor effecting this behaviour.
So the question is: do you have some unusual setup? For instance,
tkabber being run on a host different from the local one, forwarded X11
connection, something interesting in LD_PRELOAD, etc.
Also it would be very interesting to know whether the problem occurs
when you run tkabber under Tcl/Tk 8.5.
You can install tcl8.5 and tk8.5 and safely remove them afterwards -- in
they don't conflict with packages from Tcl/Tk 8.4.
To run tkabber under Tcl/Tk 8.5 you can either temporary diverge
/usr/bin/wish to point to /usr/bin/wish8.5 using
# update-alternatives --config wish
or run tkabber like this:
$ wish8.5 /usr/share/tkabber/tkabber.tcl -name Tkabber
