Ah, if you had to do this for Python there's a good reason you also
have to do this for Tcl. Although I still have absolutely no idea why
your aliases would start failing after restart:-)

What you could try is check to see whether the problem is
Python-only. I.e. if you make a copy of wish outside of the Tcl/Tk
folder, will it still run?
