So Jason is aware of the problem. I'm sure he'll be appreciative of the patch, though.
Two things... 1) I don't think Hisao's statement is true:
because there are special things you need to add to your cygwin system in order to compile python against tcltk, it appears. (like the tk-(fake) X headers...)You cannot make the Tkinter usable again by just recompiling the Python.
Those things are the "fake X" headers that cygwin-tk uses, since cygwin-tk is NOT AN X PROGRAM.
2) Therefore, I think Hisao's patch is the wrong way to do this -- because you'll end up with a weird mixture of non-X-based tk code and "true" X-based headers -- and you'd need X to be installed.
That can't be right.
I'm sure Jason has a much better understanding of what exactly needs to be done, so I won't pretend to give advice -- except that I don't think Hisao's patch is the Right Thing To Do.
But thanks for the effort; a bug report + a patch is a rare and appreciated thing.
