Your tkined.defaults fine is fine and there is no need to edit the
manager.tcl file. (Note, changing code without understanding what the
code actually does usually makes things worse and you loose any chance
that someone else can help you to solve your problems.)

The manager.tcl process is talking to Tkined via a pipe. You should
try to figure out if there is some communication between manager.tcl
and Tkined. Some systems have system call tracer like strace or truss.
These little utilities allow you to display the messages exchanged
between Tkined and manager.tcl. If AIX does not have such a useful
utility, you can go ahead and put printfs into tnmIned.c and
tkiMethods.c, tkiObjects.c to find out what is going on.
