in thread Entry widget does not work in 5.18.1

Hi Ken, Thanks for looking into it. I know it works. It works for me on my personal Ubuntu machine. But at my workplace (i.e Red Hat Entr Linux Server release 5.8(Tikanga)) , it does not work. Now it is becoming very difficult for me to understand whether the problem lies in my OS, perl/Tk or somewhere else.... Do you know of any definitive place to find the solution for this problem? Thanks RJ

    I don't actually know of a "definitive place" as such. You could try searching the Internet and speaking with your SysAdmins (both obvious and you may already have done this).

    I've front-paged this thread which will give it a little more exposure here.

      One of my sysadmins got to it and solved it by 

      >> unsetenv XMODIFIERS

      That's it. Now the entry box works as expected.
