This seems to be the part responsible for that message:

https://github.com/das/tcltk/blob/de-carbon-8-5/tk/macosx/tkMacOSXWm.c#L5890

but my C-fu is not up to the challenge, so I don't understand what exactly is going on and, more important, how that if test gets to be true and send that message. I'd really appreciate if somebody could give me some guidance on this.

This wouldn't be a problem if the Carbon builds of Tk were being updated, but they're being replaced for this new Cocoa based builds and no bug fixes go into them.

Thanks!
