The procedure to move objects is pure Tk code (look into the
Object.tcl file at the proc __move). So this might indeed be a problem
with Tk on HP. Can someone please to the following two experiments:

1) Run tkined on a HP box and use e.g. a Sun as an X11 server.
Does the problem still exist?

2) Run tkined on e.g. a Sun and use the HP box as an X11 server.
What is the result?

If you some Tk programming experience, start a wish and create a
canvas with some of bitmaps used by Tkined on it. Try to move them
and see what happens (it might be possible that unusual bitmap sizes
create problems - just a guess).
