[Pkg-tcltk-devel] Bug#1104791: bwidget: Dialog fails to display in Gnome/X11

[Sergei Golovan]

Package: bwidget
Version: 1.10.1-2
Severity: grave
Tags: upstream
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,

The following script fails to show the dialog window on updated
Debian/testing (using Gnome/X11):

package require BWidget
Dialog .m
.m add -text Yes
.m add -text No
.m draw

(after the last command nothing happens, the script hangs).
This makes for example Tkabber or any Tk program that uses
BWidget's Dialods unusable, hence the severity.
