Thanks, I installed Bryce's 2 .deb files with dpkg -i, and now X no
longer crashes when I run the above Python script (or the application
I'm developing that I hit this in).

But as you say there are still problems displaying the text.  The
characters are displayed only when they are selected with the mouse's
"click and drag to select text" function, and even then it seems to
depend on the exact mouse movements used to make the selection (paint
from right to left usually works, left to right sometimes).

Still I think it's a good idea to keep the fix for the X crash even if
we can't get to the bottom of the Tk problem, because an X crash is
vastly more serious than a text display problem.  (A Tk problem makes
one app hard to read, but an X crash might kill 25 other windows with
unsaved data!)

Thanks.

Silas
