problem with japanese input in Tkx

Hi,

in perlmonks user forum, someone complains about problems that program
crashes when hiragana input is attempted
(http://perlmonks.org/?node_id=887089)

Sample program is nothing special:

use Tkx;

Tkx::ttk__frame(".c",  -padding => "3 3 12 12");
Tkx::grid( ".c", -column => 0, -row => 0, -sticky => "nwes");
Tkx::grid_columnconfigure( ".", 0, -weight => 1); 
Tkx::grid_rowconfigure(".", 0, -weight => 1);

Tkx::ttk__entry(".c.feet", -width => 7, -textvariable => \$feet);
Tkx::grid(".c.feet", -column => 2, -row => 1, -sticky => "we");
Tkx::ttk__button(".c.calc", -text => "Search", -command => sub {search();});
Tkx::grid(".c.calc", -column => 3, -row => 3, -sticky => "w");

sub search {
   #...;
}

Tkx::MainLoop();

This most likely refers to problem in Tk itself

I haven't tried far-east languages input on windows, but 'scim' input does 
not work for tk application in my linux setup.

So, I have two questions actually,

1, is this problem confirmed? I see some discussion at
 http://community.activestate.com/forum/activetcl-8581-crashed-when-input-chinese-char 
so it is noted that 8.4.19 is free of this problem

2, where is tcl/tk user support mailing list is?

Regards,
Vadim.
