That is not actually necessary because the argument to that routine is a 
screen name, originating from ChangeScreen() in tkBind.c, and is 
guaranteed to have the X screen number last. Those are all display names 
there, and not screen names. So long as you avoid calling 
tk::ScreenChanged manually (and why would you do that?) then you'll be 
just fine.

I've fixed the bug with the double colons. It's in the 8.6, 8.5 and 8.4 
source trees.
