TCL 7.6/TK 4.2 and mibtree

First I'd like to thank Juergen for Scotty. Since I introduced it at work.
Our local fellow working on Network Management software fell in love with it
instantly. He has been using it almost every day to investigate network
complaints and problems. It so nice that he hasn't finished reinstalling
OpenView on our old management server.

I've have been using to for monitoring out 40 plus Unix systems that are on
the network. It is really convinient to use scotty to get file system
capacities than to log into each system individually.

Now on to the problem:

I've finally gotten Scotty 2.1.5 compiled and installed with TCL 7.6 and TK
4.2. Everthing is working fine expect for one problem with "mibtree".
"mibtree" terminates with the following error:

can't set "tk_strictMotif": bad option "delete": should be bind, or raise
while executing
"set tk_strictMotif 1"
(file "/usr/lib/tkined1.4.5/apps/mibtree" line 17)

The problem is related to the Tnm package. The error does not occur when the
"package require Tnm 2.1"
line is remarked out. I've tried looking through the tnm C-code and the tnm
library tcl routines. I've not been able to locate where this weird
interaction is happened. Although I have been to get "mibtree" to work by
commenting out the "Strict Motif" menu lines and the "set tk_strictMotif ..."
lines.

Any ideas?
