I think that wish in the tcl locker was updated.
Exmh may have been updated as well. The problem here is
the tk command send. It currently is set up so that it will
not work unless xhost access control is enabled and there
are 0 hosts on the list of authorized clients. (unless this
has changed in the newest version of tk) I believe that Xfree86
generally adds some default hosts to the xhost client list,
so the tk send function will not work with Xfree86.
