#1053 App name/send/multiple display problem

[Donal K. Fellows]

To exercise this bug/problem, you need two X displays.
Start a wish shell on each and make sure (by using [tk
appname]) that they have the same name (which is no
problem because they are on different displays, of
course.) Now get one wish (A) to open a new toplevel
on the display of the other wish (B). At this point, A
can [send] to B (and get a reply) by using the right
-displayof option, but B cannot [send] to A...

I suspect that any fix for this will involve adding a
-displayof option to [tk appname], and I'm not sure
what additional problems exist when using [send] with
multiple displays, at least in part because this fault
makes testing harder. :^(

Lowering the prio on this because this is an easily
reworkable solution (where the two apps don't choose the
same name - they can even introspect to avoid this). Tk
itself avoids this situation.

I'd actually be inclined to close this or change it to
feature request.
