[Rd] Is the tcltk failure in affylmGUI related to R bug 15957

[Konrad Rudolph]

Just as an FYI, I suspect the sudden break is connected to a bug
report I filed some time ago [1], and a subsequent fix by Duncan. Long
story short, the previous behaviour of tcltk was actually buggy. The
fix changed this behaviour to what Peter has explained, with the
unintended consequence of breaking some code.

I believe that Duncan’s fix actually does “the right thing”. But I
apologise for the inconvenience this caused.

(PS: apologies for sending this again, Keith; I just realised I hadn’t
sent it to the list.)
