if you manage to find a round tuit, it would be great if you contributed
it to the docs :-)
I didn't know about the cygwin Tk - that's good to hear! I've never
tried to run any windowey things under cygwin, and I'm fairly sure that
I don't have the necessary libraries installed in any case. Still, even
this patch sounds painful to implement. It works ~flawlessly **most**
of the time if you are using ActiveState Perl, rather than cygwin.
