Some private functions and variables from tk have been moved to the 
namespace ::tk and this has broken programs that used them. One of such 
programs is tkgnats. It uses the function tkCancelRepeat. Using 
replacing it by ::tk::CancelRepeat fixes the problem. Maybe a mention 
about this deprecation in tk should be included in the release notes for 
FC2 if it isn't there already.
