Ok, I have found a way to make the scipad editor works. In fact, Scilab does not find the tk library libtk8.4.so, just because its name is libtk8.4.so.0.
So, I have just made a copy of libtk8.4.so.0 in libtk8.4.so, this way : $ sudo cp /usr/lib/libtk8.4.so.0 /usr/lib/libtk8.4.so and then, after relaunching Scilab, the button "editor" in the menu or the command "scipad()" in the interpretor works fine.
