hi, after upgrading to latest perl/Tk and latest X.org, even the simplest 'my $mw=MainWindow->new();' script doesn't work any longer (gives fancy 822cd74 is not a hash at blib/lib/Tk/MainWindow.pm line 55. error message) debugging Tk, i can see the problem starts in pTk/tkUnixColor.c:TkpGetColor() it fails on getting color named 'Black' even though i have added it into rgb.txt and restarted X (i had only 'black' after installation) in the fact, even by hacking that function to request 'black' instead of 'Black' it still fails { XAllocNamedColor(display, colormap, name, &screen, &color) returns 0, subsequent call to XLookupColor as well} since the same Tk version has been working before X.org upgrade, it may be cause either by a problem in X.org, or by a 'bug' in Tk which has been exposed by some recent X.org changes ?!? anyway - could anyone point me into a direction ? i'm writing a bug report here because i don't know where to put it :( this problem affects all perl applications using Tk ... some info: perl -V: Summary of my perl5 (revision 5 version 8 subversion 8) configuration: Platform: osname=linux, osvers=2.6.16.1, archname=i686-linux uname='linux

this was actually a dup of bug 128326 (and so lost in the shuffle) - all fixed.
