Perhaps it's possible with an Operating System tweak, or even a custom compilation of Tcl, which we already include with our App (http://scidvspc.sf.net) because of problems with Snow Leopard's Wish 8.5.7.

I'm not sure I see the issues you are reporting. I have downloaded your 
app and can click on a button in a background window ("click-through" 
behavior) just fine.

In any event, the build of Tk you are using appears to be obsolete--it's 
based on Carbon as far as I can tell. No bugs in that branch of Tk are 
being fixed at this point.
