It could be that what happened to me is happening to you - I assume that you're talking about the appbar or the file window when you say "the tkwindow" - my problem was that the appbar was appearing off the right-hand edge of the screen; since it makes itself "sticky", I couldn't just find it on another screen. What I had to do to fix it was edit the file ~/.tkdesk/_layout - I found every spot that had an X windows geometry setting (something like "470x100+340+60") and changed the last part of the geometry setting to "+10+10" - this moved everything to the top-left corner, but did fix things for me, since I then just moved everything to where it ought to be. If that doesn't work, you may want to just delete your ~/.tkdesk directory, unless you've done lots of customizations you need to save. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
