Wow, it's very bizarre that Tux Paint works _until_ you've rebooted.

I know there were problems with the DirectX drivers with the last Tux Paint,
so I put instructions up on how to get Tux Paint to launch using the
older (and apparently more stable) "WinDIB" graphics drivers.

Can you try it and tell me if it helps?
