Many thanks, Eric, for this information.
I am indeed running on XP. Plain "gumby" works on my system, and the color
specs do not. I ran the following test from wish:
proc createWindowWithCursor {} {
toplevel .panel
text .panel.text
.panel.text configure -cursor {gumby red green}
pack .panel.text
}
This yields: bad cursor spec "gumby red green"
-cursor gumby or -cursor {gumby} work as expected, so this looks to me like
a Tk problem on Windows XP.
