Hmmm. Are you using the system installation of Tk (8.4.7)?

I'd install a later version of Tcl/Tk from here: 
http://www.categorifiedcoder.info/tcltk/. Try 8.4.19.

There was some weirdness with the Preferences menu before--with certain 
versions of Tk the menu item appeared twice--so I wrote a patch that set 
it to appear only once, which Ronald committed. I think the bug doesn't 
exist with Tk 8.4.7. However, that version is so old that I'm 
disinclined to offer another patch.
