Broken TkMan

I seem to have broken TkMan on my Debian 2.0 i386 hamm system. It used to work great, but since I picked up and installed a few packages from slink (apt, gnome, kde etc. all of which work well enough), I get the following messages from tkman. Error in startup script: unknown color name "-font"

Re: I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS!

Re: /etc/init.d/boot message?

[edited out discussion about how this could be implimented ...] But I'm sure I used to get all the messages in /var/log/kern.log before I upgraded to hamm (see messages with subject "/etc/init.d/boot message") e.g. Jun 14 13:06:25 Bert kernel: klogd 1.3-3, log source = /proc/kmsg started. Jun 14
