Are you missing a font package? (Hint: urw-fonts ;-)

--shmem 

_($_=" "x(1<<5)."?\n".q·/)Oo.  G°\        /
                              /\_¯/(q    /
----------------------------  \__(m.====·.(_("always off the crowd"))."·
");sub _{s./.($e="'Itrs `mnsgdq Gdbj O`qkdq")=~y/"-y/#-z/;$e.e && print}

    Really? Does it still work if you add say 6 buttons?
    I looked and I am running same Tk (804.027) and Font (4.004) with fc6 and fc7.
    I wonder why yours is working at all. I have seen it do three but fail at 4 or 5.

    Also if it was a failed font package, wouldn't it seg fault at the first use? no?
    If I run it with just 2 buttons it loads (with what looks to be right font) and runs ok
    (other than the seg fault when exiting..which I also don't understand).

    Thanks for the help!!

      Yes, it just runs. 6,7...12 buttons, no problem.

      --shmem 

      _($_=" "x(1<<5)."?\n".q·/)Oo.  G°\        /
                              /\_¯/(q    /

        Did you install your Tk via yum or via CPAN, apparently there is a difference (see comment in discussion with zentara). I had no idea. Thanks again for helping!
