I beg to differ.  It has everything to do with Tk.  Tcl
is irrelevant in any regard, as it is just a control language
for Tk.  PilotManager is written in Perl/Tk using the actual 
Tk libraries that you'd get with Tcl/Tk.  I'm not going to
start a religious war by telling you my opinions about Tcl :-)

The problem Adam is seeing with CDE stems directly from Tk 
behaviour.  Most likely I created the Tk status window with 
the wrong modes so it's not getting locked down properly.  
I never noticed this in testing since I (used to) use olvwm 
on my desktop.  I guess we could send Ousterhout some email
and see what he thinks :-)

Are there any CDE/Tk gurus out there who want to look through 
the code and take a guess what the correct settings should be
for the status subwindow?
