I hate to have to sound this stupid but you can't hide from the truth...

I'm not sure what you mean by run wish. I tried the following:

truffula:/usr/include kwythers$ wish8.4
X Error of failed request:  BadAtom (invalid Atom parameter)
   Major opcode of failed request:  18 (X_ChangeProperty)
   Atom id in failed request:  0xb5
   Serial number of failed request:  12
   Current serial number in output stream:  15

If that is what you meant, it looks to be the same error as d.m gave  
from GRASS.

Also, can you suggest a simple tcltk program to try remotely (an  
equivalent to xclock)?
