this is gonna be a tough problem to crack. the problem is that both SDL and 
TCL/TK expect to have 'exclusive' control of the windowing system.

still, i was just browsing through the SDL "quit time" code, and didn't see 
anything that should harm the environment. i'm guessing it's more of a TK 
being hostile than SDL, but it's hard to say what the problem really is.
