I'm not sure what causes this error.  A few others, I suspect on older perl
releases or different window managers, have had problems with tk also.  The
only suggestions are to either try installing the current perl release
(5.6), a different window manager, or simply with the web interface only by
turning off the tk interface:  mh -tk 0.  Many turn off tk anyway, as it
takes up a fair amount of cpu.
