I'm trying to run TkDiff on some files on my Mac, and display on my Windows machine running Xming. Other X11 apps work, but not TkDiff. Any idea what I might be missing? I've got X11 forwarding enabled, using SSH. I don't get an error. TkDiff just hangs until I kill it. I'd really like this to work. I use TkDiff all the time, just not remotely.

Just a thought - I'm not exactly certain WHEN they decided to create the "Aqua"-support version of TK (thus the "wish" Tcl/Tk interpreter), but I'd investigate if your OS version of the Tcl/Tk environment is based on Aqua and NOT X11; You may simply need a different installation of WISH to regain the capabilities afforded by X11. Note that if this is the case, you may have to adjust your PATH when logging-in remotely, such that the X11 version is found FIRST ahead of the Aqua one if you access to both.

When I upgraded from Big Sur to Monterey my tkdiff started doing the same as @AlanM. I ran "sudo port install tk" and after that tkdiff worked via ssh again.
