 Dear Sirs,

 there is an already known problem with tcl/tk on OSX Mavericks.

 In my situation, after upgrading to Mavericks from Lion, I couldn't update
 the Macports any longer, and an application that uses Wish/Tcl/Tk was no
 longer responding well.

 I hereby kindly ask you to include a certain patch into the MacPorts.

 Down below, I will quote the answer of a person in a mactcl support group
 "Tcl-mac at lists.sourceforge.net":

 >There is a known refresh problem with Cocoa Tk on OS X 10.9 (Mavericks).
 It
 has been fixed in the Tk trunk with a patch.  The Tk issue is here:

 >http://core.tcl.tk/tk/tktview?name=53f7a1b553

 >You can read an earlier thread about it here:

 >http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.tcl.mac/7194

 >There is a source patch for Tk 8.5 (and should work for Tk 8.6) that can
 be
 extracted from here:

 >http://hg.python.org/cpython/rev/8609f6df9974#l2.5


 I will try to use that patch but my experience might not be sufficient for
 this task.
 Please integrate the patch into the macports, so that I can use my
 application again.

 Not to mention that I now have to reinstall my complete Macports as well
 as my Wine apps due to the upgrade which happens to be a bit time-
 consuming for me.

 best regards\\
 Philipp Schaefermeier
